com.vividsolutions.jump.workbench.imagery.graphic.CommonsImage is suited to read only worldfiles.

Commons Imaging Readers always read the full image to memory. it is mainly there as an alternative, to try out if other readers fail. it has not GeoTIFF support as such build in a such right now. that's why it is prioritized to the bottom of the list.

GeoTIFFs should be read with one of the better performing ImageIO-ext,JAI readers which support several ways to determine the reference system.

Hi Ede, ImageIO-ext is definitively the right aternative for GeoTIFF. My question was in the case that some user should try to use Commons to read GeoTiff. Anyghow I am happy with GeoTIFF.
