What did you do?

The x/image/tiff package is in conflict with DNG decoder packages because it registers its format on init(), even though TIFF files and DNG files look similar.

I suppose one of these solutions must work:

• x/image/tiff should support decoding DNG files
• or it should use a more specific "magic" header if possible
• or it should not register its format on init().

What did you expect to see?

I expect that I should be able to call image.Decode() on a DNG file and have it successfully work using a registered DNG decoder.

The problem is that DNG and TIFF files look similar at the beginning, so registering both the TIFF and DNG formats will cause the TIFF to be used instead of DNG.

I'm not actually decoding TIFF files, but I'm using TIFF APIs because DNG shares some in common.

What did you see instead?

"tiff: unsupported feature: color model"

Currently it doesn't seem possible to use image.Decode() for DNG files.
