  -c CMP, --cmp CMP     compare images by function and keep higher
                        (resolution, size [resolution])
  -s SENSITIVITY, --sensitivity SENSITIVITY
                        how similar images must be to be considered duplicates
                        (0 - very similar, 5 - shomehow similar)
  -i, --invert          invert the compartison function (keep lower)
