Is there an open source Java API to tag TIFF image files?

+1  A: 

I think that Apache Sanselan may meet your needs

Perfect! this is exactly what I needed! JAI-IO was not desirable, as it is not "automatically" cross platform.

Glad I could help. Good luck with the project.

Actually, I jumped the gun - I can fetch all tags, but not update them. I contacted the project owners, and have been informed that while JPEGs tags can be updated, TIFF cannot (at the moment). so its back to the drawing board for me :(
tellme
Sorry about that... I didn't know about the TIFF limitation.

There is also the Java 2D API to manipulates a variety of images and draw graphics.
