Since

You can use the standard Since field to limit the results to only include headshots whose media record have been updated on or after a date and time you select.

Quality

A non-zero value causes PNG images to be saved in an 8-bit format for smaller file sizes.

A value of 1-100 causes JPG images to be saved with the corresponding quality level. A lower quality level will produce smaller files.

If the field is blank or 0 then no change is made.

NOTE: this is only intended to be able to reduce the quality and file size.
