-progressive Create progressive JPEG file (see below).
-scale M/N Scale the output image by a factor M/N. Currently
- supported scale factors are 8/N with all N from 1 to
- 16.
+ supported scale factors are M/N with all N from 1 to
+ 16, where M is the destination DCT size, which is 8 by
+ default (see -block N switch below).
-targa Input file is Targa format. Targa files that contain
an "identification" field will not be automatically
Switches for advanced users:
+ -block N Set DCT block size. All N from 1 to 16 are possible.
+ Default is 8 (baseline format).
+ Larger values produce higher compression,
+ smaller values produce higher quality
+ (exact DCT stage possible with 1 or 2; with the
+ default quality of 75 and default Luminance qtable
+ the DCT+Quantization stage is lossless for N=1).
+ CAUTION: An implementation of the JPEG SmartScale
+ extension is required for this feature. SmartScale
+ enabled JPEG is not yet widely implemented, so many
+ decoders will be unable to view a SmartScale extended
+ JPEG file at all.

-dct int Use integer DCT method (default).
-dct fast Use fast integer DCT (less accurate).
-dct float Use floating-point DCT method.
