<p>Currently only few parameters exist. JPEG images can be saved with a
"quality" parameter; its value should be in the range [0,100].</p>
<p>Text chunks can be attached to PNG images by specifying parameters of
the form "tEXt::key", where key is an ASCII string of length 1-79.
The values are UTF-8 encoded strings. The PNG compression level can
be specified using the "compression" parameter; it's value is in an
integer in the range of [0,9].</p>
<p>ICC color profiles can also be embedded into PNG, JPEG and TIFF images.
The "icc-profile" value should be the complete ICC profile encoded
into base64.</p>

<p>TIFF images recognize a "compression" option which acceps an integer value.
Among the codecs are 1 None, 2 Huffman, 5 LZW, 7 JPEG and 8 Deflate, see
the libtiff documentation and tiff.h for all supported codec values.</p>
<p>ICO images can be saved in depth 16, 24, or 32, by using the "depth"
parameter. When the ICO saver is given "x_hot" and "y_hot" parameters,
it produces a CUR instead of an ICO.</p>
