For bilevel and grayscale images: 0 is imaged as black.
DNG CFA (Color Filter Array) encoding.
CIE L*a*b*
Also called 'separated'
ICC L*a*b*
Used in the TIFF-F and TIFF-FX standard (RFC 2301).
Used in the TIFF-F and TIFF-FX standard (RFC 2301). The Decode tag, if present, holds information about this particular CIE L*a*b* encoding.
DNG LinearRaw encoding.
Pixar 'LogL' encoding.
Pixar 'LogLuv' encoding.
Palette color.
Palette color. In this model, a color is described with a single component. The value of the component is used as an index into the red, green and blue curves in the ColorMap field to retrieve an RGB triplet that defines the color. When PhotometricInterpretation=3 is used, ColorMap must be present and SamplesPerPixel must be 1.
RGB value of (0,0,0) represents black, and (255,255,255) represents white, assuming 8-bit components.
RGB value of (0,0,0) represents black, and (255,255,255) represents white, assuming 8-bit components. The components are stored in the indicated order: first Red, then Green, then Blue.
This means that the image is used to define an irregularly shaped region of another image in the same TIFF file.
This means that the image is used to define an irregularly shaped region of another image in the same TIFF file. SamplesPerPixel and BitsPerSample must be 1. PackBits compression is recommended. The 1-bits define the interior of the region; the 0-bits define the exterior of the region.
For bilevel and grayscale images: 0 is imaged as white.
YCbCr
Color space tag values, specifying photometric interpretation of multiple bands via use of TagCodes.PhotometricInterpTag, as defined by http://www.awaresystems.be/imaging/tiff/tifftags/photometricinterpretation.html
