On the same image saved (from Photoshop) as TIFF and JPG image,
the following difference in identify -verbose is shown:


on the JPG image identify -verbose shows:
Profile-8bim: 74358 bytes
unknown[2,0]:
unknown[109,102]:
unknown[0,98]:
unknown[31,0]: b
unknown[0,192]:
Profile-exif: 2447 bytes
Profile-icc: 560 bytes
ColorMatch RGB
Profile-xmp: 16694 bytes

on the TIFF image identify -verbose shows:
Profile-8bim: 74330 bytes
unknown[2,0]:
unknown[109,102]:
unknown[0,98]:
unknown[31,0]: b
unknown[0,192]:
Profile-icc: 560 bytes
ColorMatch RGB
Profile-iptc: 8 bytes
Profile-xmp: 16665 bytes

So (apart from some other small differences) the EXIF data is not recognized in the TIFF image.

The concerned files can be found at http://javabog.dk/filer/clip_test.jpg

We have code to read any TIFF EXIF profile but it is conditionally compiled and the configure scripts did not properly set the required pre-processor define. The problem is fixed in ImageMagick 6.3.9-1 Beta which is scheduled for release within a week or two.
