Problem

Three reference links in src/ImageSharp/Formats/Tiff/README.md point at retired partners.adobe.com URLs. Each returns GET 404:

curl -sL -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}\n" http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/tiff/TIFF6.pdf
# 404
curl -sL -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}\n" http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/tiff/TIFFPM6.pdf
# 404
curl -sL -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}\n" http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/tiff/TIFFphotoshop.pdf
# 404

The line for TIFF 6.0 also had a second bare URL appended as (http://www.npes.org/pdf/TIFF-v6.pdf) which was not a real markdown link.

Solution

Point all three at the libtiff project mirrors on download.osgeo.org, which host the same specification PDFs:

All three verified 200 with curl -L GET.

Verification

Markdown-only change. Searched open and closed PRs for prior TIFF specification link fixes and found none.

The partners.adobe.com links for the TIFF 6.0 specification and Supplements 1 and 2 GET 404. Replace them with the equivalent PDFs hosted by download.osgeo.org (libtiff project), verified 200.
