Notes

Color encoding – uses rgb: prefix (e.g. b_rgb:3b82f6).
Blur – range mapped from 0…100 to 1…2000.
Gamma – Cloudinary e_gamma is a percentage in -50..150 (default 0 = unchanged). Chainsaw’s multiplier is translated as pct = round((gamma - 1) * 100) and clamped; gamma(1.0) → e_gamma:0, gamma(2.2) → e_gamma:120, gamma(5.0) → e_gamma:150 (saturated).
Watermark – uses Cloudinary’s layer system with l_fetch: and base64-encoded URLs. Supports overlay positioning, sizing, and opacity via chained transformation segments.
Flip – Both direction only applies horizontal flip (Cloudinary limitation).
URL signing – optional HMAC signing with apiSecret and a UrlSignerInterface (produces s--AbCdEfGh-- prefix).
Cloudinary has the largest feature set of any CDN provider, especially with its paid AI add-ons.
