The images you pass to fotoprep can be of different types,
even GIMP and RAW files (using RawTherapee and its .pp3
sidecar files). The files can come from several different
directories in your file system at the same time.
Don't worry, your images will not be changed.
All operations are performed on copies of the files.
The results will be placed in a new directory called:
fotoprep-<PID> inside the directory where fotoprep was started.

Notes

• ExifTool, GIMP, RawTherapee and ImageMagick must be installed.
• This will only work in Bash >= 4.0.
