This doesn't work as smoothly as I thought. A lot of the options must be
removed anyways or require special post processing. So I decided to go
with your first suggestion and add :extra-convert-options argument to
convert backend. I have reduced the number of transforms to about 60. I
will cut them even further once I am fully clarified of their meaning.

Naturally, this selection is somewhat subjective. My main criteria was
the conceptual simplicity and the ease of the interactive usage. So I
left most common operations that might be useful for quick adjustment of
the image in an interactive settings. Things like flipping/flopping,
gamma/contrast correction, shifting, color inversion, thresholding,
noise reduction and various effects are all there:
