Saving a bufferedimage as a .tiff

[eagles]

I'm trying to save a BufferedImage as a .tiff.
The following:
ImageIO.write(b ufferedImg, "TIFF", new File("file.tiff "));
is returning false.
Do I need to use JAI?
I'm just trying to use the easiest way to save a .tiff.
Thanks.

Have you tried a lowercase "tiff" name?

kind regards,

Yes, I tried "tiff" but it still doesn't work. I can save the BufferImage as a jpeg but I can't figure out how to save it as a tiff.

Somewhere deep in the back of my memory I think I remember that only .gif,
.jpeg and .png formats are suppported but please correct me if I'm wrong.

kind regards,

Jos

edit: I think I was right after I read what "Java tiff" all returned after googling for it;
the core classes simply don't supply the tiff format at all; bad luck. JAI seems to
support it though.
