[@capacitor/camera] add PNG image format option to allow picking transparent images

[dmitry-salnikov]

Feature Request

Add image format option to allow picking images in PNG format, in order to keep transparency.

Plugin

@capacitor/camera

Description

For now, the JPEG format is used for both photos and picked images in native code. I want to have an option to specify PNG format, to allow user to pick transparent images from library because JPEG format doesn't support transparency.

Platform(s)

iOS, Android

Preferred Solution

Optimally, format option should be specified with three values:

• JPEG (could be default option for compatibility reasons);
• PNG;
• Original - keep the original image format while re-encoding/resizing image.
