A method for printing an image of a compressed hierarchical image format file determines a number of layers to be extracted from a codestream of the compressed hierarchical image format file needed to realize a predetermined printing requirement with respect to printing the image of the compressed hierarchical image format file. Information, identifying the number of layers needed to be extracted from the codestream to realize the predetermined printing requirement, is embedded. The number of layers identified by the embedded information is extracted from the codestream and the image is printed based upon the number of layers extracted from the codestream.
