By default, the image format of 'file' is figured out from its magic number 🔮 If you want a specific format, put an image format name and a colon in front of the filename, like ps:image, or use the image type as the filename suffix, like image.ps. And if you want 'file' to be '-', that means standard input or output 📥📤
