Bypassing ImageKit's automatic optimization and compression to get your original image

By default ImageKit automatically optimizes your image to the right image format based on the user's device, original image format, content and quality. As a result, even if you do not make any change to the image URL, you still get an optimized image on all devices.

However, there might be cases where you need to retrieve your original image as it is. For this, you can add a parameter while requesting your image to retrieve the original version. 

The paramater to be added is orig-true  (stands for original = true)
