Do your emails keep getting cut short?
The easiest way, for a known tag type, is:
tiffOutputDirectory.add(TiffTagConstants.TIFF_TAG_DATE_TIME,
"2012-04-25 01:23:45");
which supports IDE code completion, and automatically overloads to the
correct method based on the tag type.
For an unknown tag type, I think you have to use the old way where you
construct a TiffOutputField yourself.
