We usually use the SPARSE_OK option when creating GTiffs, but as a lot of our 
clients use ArcGIS, we need to ensure that the sparse option is not used for 
client deliverables. After a tiff has been created though, it's not easy to 
tell whether it is sparse or not. Is there an easy way of detecting which 
rasters are sparse and therefore cannot be sent to clients?

Using tiffinfo -D test.tif seems to give an error message like "TIFFFillTile: 
0: Invalid tile byte count, tile 0." , so I've been using this to check, but is 
there a better way?

Or have Esri started supporting sparse rasters, and if so, does anyone know 
which version of ArcMap 10.x? (Our clients are mostly on older versions, not 
sure if any are using Pro yet).

Thanks,

Jon
