Hi Mateusz,
As far as I can tell tiff needs the row number to be read and also tiff rows cannot be read in random order.
It's not precise, because rows of some TIFFs can be accessed in random order. The spec confirms that too:
"random access to individual scanlines can only be provided when data is not stored in a compressed format, or when the number of rows in a strip of image data is set to one (RowsPerStrip is one)."
Yes, you're correct uncompressed images can be read in random order. I'll add such optimization. Christian
