TIFF tags messed up in error TAG-342-0001?

[marhop]

Hi,

I got error TAG-342-0001 when validating a TIFF file with DPF Manager 3.5.1 and I think two TIFF tags were messed up here:

The location of the error is "tag 319 PrimaryChromaticities" but its description is "TransferRange Tag type is not valid, a SHORT type is expected".

According to the TIFF 6 specification, TransferRange (tag 342) has type SHORT, so the desription is correct. My file however contains, as far as I can tell, no TransferRange tag at all. It does have a PrimaryChromaticities tag (tag 319) with correctly typed RATIONAL values though.

I suppose the typing rule (and description) for TransferRange is wrongly applied to PrimaryChromaticities here, leading to a validation error because of incompatible types. Could you check this?

Thanks,
Martin

Yes, I see. There is an error in this file:
https://github.com/EasyinnovaSL/TIFF-Implementation-Checker/blob/master/src/main/resources/implementationcheckers/TIFF_Baseline_Extended_6_0.xml

Lines 1277 and 1284 should be tag[id=342] instead of tag[id=319]

Nice. I suppose you don't need a pull request for that?
