Gary Lucas commented on IMAGING-319: ------------------------------------ I haven't figured this out yet, but I've narrowed down the cause to TiffImageWriterLossless. There is a method that attempts to update the file positions (offsets) of the various EXIF tags. It's called updateOffsetsSteps(). The code is very confusing. As far as I can tell, at some point some of the space in the output file is determined to be "unused" and updateOffsetSteps() attempts to reuse it by finding available space and setting the tag output position to the available space. If you bypass this operation by adding a diagnostic call to unusedElements.clear() right after the unusedElements list is established, everything works fine. The call stack is basically ExifRewriter.updateExifMetadataLossles ExifRewriter.writeExifSegment TiffImageWriterLossless.write TiffImageWriterLossless.updateOffsetsStep > updateExifMetadataLossless lost the first character of a String > --------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: IMAGING-319 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMAGING-319 > Project: Commons Imaging > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Format: JPEG > Affects Versions: 1.0-alpha2 > Reporter: Sicheng Yang > Priority: Major > Attachments: Screen Shot 2021-11-26 at 4.01.06 PM-1.png, Screen Shot > 2021-11-26 at 4.01.21 PM-1.png, iPhone12-geotag.JPG > > > I try to use TiffOutputSet to generate a new image.
