Description

Allow the user to set the compression type of Tiff files externally.

In the current version, the class ImageIOUtil uses TIFFUtil.setCompressionType and this sets the compression only to "CCITT T.6" or "LZW".
Other choice could be allow the jpeg compression that is more efficient.

It already has a TODO in code (// TODO expose this choice to the user?)

Thank you.
