Hi,

If it must be done in .NET, you could use LibTiff.Net [1] which is a
.NET port of libtiff.

I have successfully used LibTiff.Net for some time and it is now
pretty stable. There is a lot of example code, which somewhat
compensates for the rather steep learning curve. They even have an
example of how to insert a custom tag [2]

Best regards
Asger
