Considering that there are several different variations on the TIFF file format (e.g. big-endian vs. little-endian, 0 is black vs. 1 is black, and then there's metadata), this would not surprise me.

Yeah, that's what I expected, thanks.

Subtract the test's output image from the reference image, pixel by pixel, and look for any non-zero differences. This assumes compatible representations and no differences introduced by any other image-handling steps (e.g. device-RGB is device-dependent, so can't be assumed to be unvarying).

Even so, you might encounter small non-zero differences that originate from outside your code-under-test. If these are larger than +/-1 they could be significant; +/-1 I'd probably accept as within the margin-of-error for rounding.

Thanks, I didn't know if there was a cleaner way than doing it pixel- by-pixel myself; the info on reasonable tolerances is also quite helpful.


I've tracked down the problem using this method (unfortunately, can't yet write about the issue here for the archives); thanks to everybody for their help.
