Extracting layers from TIFF image

[Abie]

Hi,

Similar to PSD, the TIFF image can also have layers. We want to be able to extract the layers of TIFF files on AEM Assets and access those using Scene7 URLs.

We are able to achieve this for the PSD files, but can't find next steps for TIFF files. Has anyone solved this problem in the past? Any pointers would be helpful.

Thank You!

Can you please explain how you are able to access layers for your PSD files. As far as I know, there is no OOTB way to achieve it. Is there any custom solution in play?

Hi @krati_garg ,

Indeed this is not OOTB. You can use TwelveMonkey library-

Thanks!

@Abie I am assuming that you are not using Cloud version of AEM, where in Binary Processing is not recommended at AEM end. This should be deployed via Microservices.

On Non-Cloud version, processing binaries is still possible.

Coming back to your query, I see various plugins available to process TIFF files. One of them is imageio library which is already being used in TwelveMonkey link mentioned above.
