This isn't very extensible. You're missing some options, and if we
ever want to add more, we have to add more combination options as
well.
Better is to define a dictionary with keys of "transform" and "clip"
(+more?), whose values are bools. Like you say, not passing the
dictionary is taken to mean "save everything".
