Image manipulation is really a less reasonable thing to use command line
tools upon unless you are doing mass automatic batch processing. In the
case of image manipulation where you are trying to achieve small file
sizes without dramatic reductions in quality, it makes a WHOLE LOT more
sense to use something like GIMP where you can adjust parameters and
instantly see (without saving) how much it degrades the image?
I dunno, whatever you can use to achieve the desired output is fine...
