One consideration here is cross-platform consistency. Camera is an area where
we've had issues with platforms having different behaviors for the same option.
Currently, you can save the original image with the following camera options:
{ allowEdit : false,
correctOrientation : false,
saveToPhotoAlbum : true
}
I'm also not sold that adding another save-to-photoalbum option
(saveUnmodifiedImageToPhotAlbum) is the best way. May be a bit confusing. If
we do add it, the behavior of the 2 options need to be documented clearly.
Perhaps it would be better to document the above options as the way to get the
unmodified image?
