Hello, Jon --
Should have added -- thanks for the pointer to JHOVE/JHOVE2 --
There are still some modules in JHOVE for which there is not yet one in JHOVE2 (though coming to a Bitbucker repository near you soon!!) and vice versa-- but for TIFF -- folks might prefer using the later code.
Best,
Sehila

Oops!  I wasn't trying to specify a version of JHOVE, I meant to add a
footnote with a link and forgot. For what it's worth, I was going to
link to JHOVE2 :-) .
Hope all is well with you,
Jon

JHOVE2 (www.jhove2.org) will work as well.

Edward,
JHOVE (1)  should be able to do this, and I believe you can pass the
included shell script a directory and have it extract data for
everything it finds and can parse inside.
