Value offset not word aligned: <value>
TIFF 6.0 Specification, page 15: value offsets are "expected" to point to values which begin on word boundaries. Page 30: "Rows must begin on byte boundaries."
Storing data at word and byte boundaries allows CPUs to more efficiently read and process the data. When it is unaligned, CPUs can require additional attempts at reading the data.
When the parameter byteoffset=true is set in Link to the jhove configuration byteoffset, this error is ignored and becomes an InfoMessage. The status also becomes "Well-Formed and valid".
- Type: ErrorMessage or InfoMessage (configurable)

Minor. Most viewers don't care and will happily display files despite this error. But of course, it still violates the TIFF specification. Further more, systems may suffer a performance penalty while reading or processing the TIFF. The penalty will depend on the architecture of the individual system, which data in the TIFF is unaligned, and how much of it there is.
Options:
- Add pad bytes and adapt pointers where necessary, either manually in a hex editor (tedious and very error-prone) or with a script.
- Write any metadata with ExifTool (either "really" or using some dummy operation like copying a tag to itself:
exiftool '-XResolution<XResolution' a.tif); this will silently fix this error.

It depends, but at least medium.
Each TIFF tag has a type (like BYTE, ASCII, SHORT, ...) that determines how its content should be interpreted. Generally, if the type of a tag is set to the wrong value its content cannot be interpreted correctly meaning that a viewer will read nonsense from the tag. Depending on the significance of a tag this may or may not prevent the file from being displayed.
However, since the types of the common TIFF tags are well-known from the respective specifications (TIFF of course, but also other specifications like XMP) some viewers might just (silently) ignore wrong types in a TIFF file and use the correct types from the specifications instead, thus being able to display files despite this error. But obviously, this is nothing one should rely on in the long run ...
Options:
- In the affected IFD entry, set the type to the correct value, if necessary adapt the count value (because values of different types may differ in size), and watch out for pad bytes. This can be done in a hex editor (tedious and very error-prone) or with a script (slightly less tedious and error-prone).
- Copy the affected tag to itself with ExifTool (
exiftool '-XResolution<XResolution' a.tif); in many cases this will set the correct type. (But not in all cases: some tags are not writable by ExifTool.)
