You could try parsing the files but it would be much easier using ExifTool

exiftool -T -r -filename -compression *.tif >TiffCompression.txt

Hi Paul,

Thanks for your information. I can't able to get the value of layer compression.

There is only image compression value(ie. LZW and JPG) inside of metadata.

Please help me to find the layer compression value(Like RLE, ZIP) .

Thanks in advance.
