PC/MAC byte order is not preserved in result TIFF

[medikoo]

Hi,

When I convert tiff image with MAC byte order (tiff:endian: msb) in return I get image with PC byte order (tiff:endian: lsb).
I'd like to preserver byte order type in result file.
If it's not done by default how can i force it ? There's only option to specify file format type endianess (-endian) but I don't see option to customize pixel fill order endianess.
Thanks for help!

With "convert <input> -define tiff:endian=msb <output.tif>". (Note that this is the EXIF byte order.)
See here:

That works. Thanks!

I still wonder why imagemagick doesn't by default preserve byte order of the original, at least I would call it an expected behavior.
