 unsure we want to filter the original.

 Actually that's exactly what I wanted to do when it came to watermarking,
 otherwise the original image could be downloaded from the site. However
 that makes a tiny watermark on the thumbnails so really the thumbnails
 should be watermarked on their own by this imaginary plugin and then the
 original file overwritten with a watermarked version afterwards.

 It gets complicated fast but can you ever have too many filters? :)

 At the very least allowing resizing massive images, or using crushing
 techniques, seems like a useful case for this.
