 Lower value can result is faster processing time at the expense of
 larger file size and lower compression quality.
 .TP
+.B \-jpeg_like
+Change the internal parameter mapping to better match the expected size
+of JPEG compression. This flag will generally produce an output file of
+similar size to its JPEG equivalent (for the same \fB\-q\fP setting), but
+with less visual distortion.
+.TP
 .B \-af
 Turns auto-filter on. This algorithm will spend additional time optimizing
 the filtering strength to reach a well-balanced quality.
