Saving Scanned Image in TIFF Format

Question

I am using Gnome TWAIN Package V4.3 to scan images. I can save the image in JPEG format, but have not figured out how to save it in TIFF format. Can someone provide an example of how to save images scanned using the Gnome package to TIFF Format?
Thanks.

Try this example from www.gnome.sk:

// JavaTwain package version 5.0
Example8 demonstrates how to save a acquired image to the TIFF file format, using JAI.
You need to install JAI and set a classpath to the JAI library before
compiling and running the example.
import javax.media.jai.*;
import java.io.*;
import com.sun.media.jai.codec.*;
import java.awt.*;
import SK.gnome.twain.*;
public class Example8
protected RenderedOp image ;
public Example8() throws Exception
{ Twain twain = new Twain();
twain.setVisible(false);     
Image awt_image=Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(new TwainImage(twain));
RenderedOp image = (RenderedOp) JAI.create("AWTImage", awt_image);
OutputStream os = new FileOutputStream("test.tiff");
TIFFEncodeParam param = new TIFFEncodeParam();
ImageEncoder enc = ImageCodec.createImageEncoder("TIFF", os,param);
enc.encode(image);
os.close();
System.exit(0);
public static void main (String args[]) throws Exception
{ Example8 example8 =new Example8();
}
