 # Imagemin Guard
 
-(This project has been based on [sum.cumo’s imagemin-merlin](https://github.com/sumcumo/imagemin-merlin). [Changes are documented](https://github.com/sumcumo/imagemin-merlin/compare/master...j9t:master), and include this README. Imagemin Guard supports two additional file formats—WebP and AVIF—, comes with improved code and documentation, and is being maintained—including automatically updated dependencies.)

-Imagemin Guard takes care of lossless compression of your images, to help you avoid bloat in your repositories. It’s an extension of [imagemin](https://www.npmjs.com/package/imagemin) and a fork of [imagemin-merlin (Merlin)](https://github.com/sumcumo/imagemin-merlin) that makes it convenient and safe to automatically compress JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, and AVIF images.
+Imagemin Guard takes care of near-lossless compression of your images, to help you avoid bloat in your repositories. It makes it convenient and as safe as possible to automatically compress JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, and AVIF images.
 
 It’s convenient because setup is simple. Install, run, add hook, done.
 
-It’s safe because compression happens _losslessly_. Therefore, no worries about forgetting to compress images, but no worries about sacrificing too much quality, either. (You can take care of additional optimizations by yourself or through other tooling.)

 ### Parameters
 
-`--dry` allows to run Imagemin Guard in “dry mode.” All changed files can then be inspected under `/tmp/imagemin-guard`.
+`--dry` allows to run Imagemin Guard in “dry mode.” All changes are being shown in the terminal.
 
 `--ignore` allows to specify paths to be ignored (as in `--ignore=example,test`). Multiple paths have to be separated by comma. (Files and paths specified in .gitignore files are generally ignored.)
 
 `--staged` (recommended with automated use) triggers a mode that watches JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, and AVIF files in `git diff` and only compresses those files—that approach makes Imagemin Guard more efficient in operation.

 ## How Does Imagemin Guard Work?
 
-Imagemin Guard is a Node script that puts a wrapper around [imagemin-cli](https://www.npmjs.com/package/imagemin-cli) and the packages [imagemin-mozjpeg](https://www.npmjs.com/package/imagemin-mozjpeg), [imagemin-optipng](https://www.npmjs.com/package/imagemin-optipng), [imagemin-gifsicle](https://www.npmjs.com/package/imagemin-gifsicle), [imagemin-webp](https://www.npmjs.com/package/imagemin-webp), and [imagemin-avif](https://www.npmjs.com/package/imagemin-avif).
+Imagemin Guard is a Node script currently using [sharp](https://www.npmjs.com/package/sharp) and [gifsicle](https://www.npmjs.com/package/gifsicle) under the hood.
 
-Automated compression works by monitoring whether a given change list includes any JPGs, PNGs, GIFs, WebPs, or AVIFs. It’s initiated by a Git hook. Only those images are compressed where there is an improvement. The compressed images can then be committed to the underlying repository.

-Through this approach, though still glossed over here, Imagemin Guard makes up for what’s missing or complicated in imagemin and related packages, namely easy, riskless, automated, resource-friendly in-repo optimization.

 ## Why Use Imagemin Guard?
 
 (This is a paraphrased remainder of earlier documentation, left in case it makes anything more clear ☺️)
 
 You _can_ use Imagemin Guard if you need a simple, automatable, robust solution to compress images and to keep the compressed results in your repository (instead of only in the production environment).
 
-That last piece is important, as Imagemin Guard compresses losslessly, so there’s no risk that images suffer from quality issues after processing. With this kind of defensive base compression, there’s no reason, and only advantages, to feed back compressed graphics into the respective source repository.

 ## What’s Next?
 
-Following [Merlin](https://github.com/sumcumo/imagemin-merlin), which Imagemin Guard is based on, new features may include the option to configure the underlying imagemin plugins (somewhat prepared but not completed yet), or supporting projects in which the project’s .git folder is not at the same level as its package.json (at the moment, automatic mode doesn’t work in these cases).
+There are a few ideas, like supporting projects in which the project’s .git folder is not at the same level as its package.json (currently, automatic mode doesn’t work in these cases).
 
-Also, as some imagemin packages are not maintained at the moment, it may be useful or necessary to change to a different compression solution, like [Sqoosh](https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/squoosh). The situation is being monitored. Ideally, any change here will only happen under the hood.
