Directories are read sequentially.
Applications only need to call ReadDirectory to read multiple subfiles in a single TIFF file/stream - the first directory in a file/stream is automatically read when Open(string, string) or ClientOpen(string, string, object, BitMiracle.LibTiff.Classic.TiffStream) is called.
The images that have a single uncompressed strip or tile of data are automatically treated as if they were made up of multiple strips or tiles of approximately 8 kilobytes each. This operation is done only in-memory; it does not alter the contents of the file/stream. However, the construction of the "chopped strips" is visible to the application through the number of strips returned by NumberOfStrips or the number of tiles returned by NumberOfTiles.
