You can’t predict the future
Speeds up your site & development

Cool stuff?
Private images/versions
Sprite generation
Face detection => face blurring(!)
camera EXIF
Metadata (gps, etc...)
Colors
More cool stuff
Correct picture orientation (for mobile)
Manipulations (creative cropping, borders, watermarks, etc)

Good to know
Images are loaded async
give a size to the img elements
some jQuery plugins need tweaking
