Hi everyone,

Hoping to get some advice from you TIFF experts.

I am writing a TIFF->PDF converter, and it now handles all kinds of TIFFs
except the CIE Lab ones (PhotometricInterpertation=8). Instead of converting
Lab to RGB (which is hell on earth)  I thought I could simply use the
/ColorSpace [/Lab ....] color space in my image dictionary. When I do it,
the image does show up, but the colors are all screwed up.

The /Lab color space dictionary has some entries: /WhitePoint (required),
/BlackPoint and /Range. I was hoping to get values for those from the TIFF
image itself, but there was nothing there! So where would I get those
values? Are there default ones?

BTW, Photoshop opens those Lab TIFFs just fine.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
