Property Value

Old TIFF specification allows to store the StripByteCounts tag data only as Long values. Current TIFF specification allows to store the StripByteCounts tag data as Short and Long values.
By default TIFF encoder optimizes the StripByteCounts tag data and tries to store tag data as Short values because this allows to create smaller TIFF file.
Also TIFF encoder optimizes the data of some other TIFF tags.
This property allows to disable the optimization and guarantee that created TIFF file will be compatible with legacy TIFF viewers.

Target Platforms: .NET 10; .NET 9; .NET 8; .NET 7; .NET 6; .NET Framework 4.8, 4.7, 4.6, 4.5, 4.0, 3.5
