There are no short options!!! So this is not a problem.
Image processing has too many highly varied operators to even try adding
short flags for things. That is left for more specialized wrapping
programs and scripts, and a short option can make more sense.
Not all operators even use '-' for example there is of "-read" operator
for the command line, you just give the image filename directly as the
"-read" operation.
