Shrinks images in the way I want

Installation

Install this library using pip:

python -m pip install shrinky

Usage

It's a CLI program, run shrinky [OPTIONS] FILENAME

Options:
-o, --output FILE
-t, --output-type TEXT  New file type (eg jpg, png etc.)
-g, --geometry TEXT     Resize to a maximum geometry, 1x1, 1x, x1 etc.
-q, --quality INTEGER   If JPEG, set quality
-f, --force             Overwrite destination

For example, if you want to turn example.png to a JPEG file at quality 45, shrunk within an 800x800 bounding box, you can run:

shrinky -t jpg -q 45 -g 800x00 example.png

You'll end up with example.jpg.
