Example output file type: jpeg '+fj' in the command line (or 'Output_file_type=J' in 'povray.ini'):
Output path - How to tell POV-Ray where to store the rendered images:
See here 'povray.ini'.
 POV-Ray reads 'povray.ini' and 'quickres.ini' only once while starting.
Any change in these files need a shut down and restart of the POV-Ray program to take effect!
