I now completely understand you and you are completely right about your guesses :)
I am really glad with your kindness. As you see I don't have any deep info on this subject. But I try to learn what is going on under the hood. I will write a simple console app that get tiff file with ImageIO.read and just scale it down. I guess I will not produce any unnecessary trace log. I will post the results shortly. Thank you again.
