TIFF compression using LZW

Is there a class in C# library which does LZW compression on TIFF images. I know there is a compression scheme inviolving LZW being present, but using that doesnt decrease the file size whatsoever. Is there any thing that Im assuming wrong? Please correct me if I am.

Because LZW is loseless compression, you can compress TIFF images or any other kind of data using the same way. In C# you can use the SharpLZW library.

--EDIT (1)--

If you want to produce a TIFF file with embedded LZW compression respecting the TIFF specification look at section 13 of the specification.

--EDIT (2)--

There was a patent but it is now expired.
