Just added the out-type (jpeg, png & tiff) and compression (defaults
to 90) options. Was also thinking of a max-size option to specify
maximal height or width of output image. Does that make sense? I shoot
10MP raws, so it is not much of an issue for me, but maybe if I had a
24MP or more camera, I would prefer them to be resized after
development.
