brief description of the sample to the tiff file, so that the
description will always stay associated with the image?
What software will allow me to read/write the description?
In general, what software is used to edit tiff files other than
editing the image itself?
I'm using a PC.
Thanks

I know two softwares in PC which can open and annotate in tiff files, one is
PhotoStyler, another is ImageStar.

One of PC software called Mocha 2.1 can open TIFF files and annotate on
the image in form of overlay. The overlay can be merged in image or
saperated. The annotate can be saved as a overlay file. You can open the
overlay file to see the annotate. The software can provide 3
overlaies in different color.
Hopefull it helps.

Do you really want to annotate the image itself or catalog it for future
reference? If the latter is true, check out Thumbs Plus image database.
It allows annotation, keyword searches, thumbnail creation, and all
sorts of other neat stuff. It translates a handful of image formats and
runs under all Windows GUI/OS. The icing on the cake? It's about
sixty-five dollars.

All major scientific image processing software packages are able to
annotate TIFF files.
I made best experience with Media Cybernetics' Image-Pro Plus !

this. The standard is Adobe Photoshop. A smaller, but very capable image
databasing package with basic image editing capabilities, is Ulead, Inc.'s
Image Pals. Actually Image Pals has been updated and improved, and renamed;
and I can't recall the new name. Any good software shop would have both of
these programs. They allow you to store images with user provided titles,
keywords, and annotations that can be searched. An important feature is
"thumbnails" which allow you to preview small snapshots of many of your
images on screen at one time. Other features of these programs that are
useful are format conversion, file compression, and of course the various
image enhancement (sharpening, contrast control, etc.) features which
require care when used in a scientific environment.

image databse that will let you catalog your images with any type of
information you like then sort and query on that data, also we can associate
a tiff image overlay plane with any image and keep that as a separate file or
merge it into the original for printing only or permanently.
Contact me at : Scott E57@aol.com and I will gladly mail you a packge of
literature and price list for our products.

header to allow you to put almost anything ... Photoshop is
the best, and they've adopted the standard in liking with the
newspaper industry. If you are already using Photoshop I can
give you more info ... but almost any image editting software
allows for this capability ...

gets stored in the file's header (and so is permanently
associated with the file) using many image browsing
programs. In my (albeit limited) experience, such text is
program-specific, i.e. annotations written by one image
browser probably won't be able to be read using another
browser.
So if it comes down to selecting image browsers, I'd suggest
Graphics Workshop for Windows (no financial interests,
etc). I like this one because it's cheap (shareware), has a
good range of usable features such as rescaling and
conversion (to over a dozen common formats) and, best of
all, *doesn't* require you to construct 'albums' as do many of
the other programs I've seen, explained below;
Many programs require you to create an 'album', a file which
will contain directions to images that you allocate to that
album, and then asks you to add images to that album.
Every time you take more images they need to be added to
an album before they can be viewed.
Graphics Workshop does not use albums, but simply
navigates through the Windows directories, viewing whatever
images it finds in those directories. I'm sure that there are
others that work like this, but GW is as I said before, cheap,
easy to use, easy to find on the Net and is constantly being
upgraded.
