 QGIS' main basic image output is using the TIFF format in its lowest form
 which has a negative impact on performance and user experience.

 For example, these gdal options could be used by default as they maximize
 the compatibility with other GIS tools while still using helpful
 functionalities :
 - COMPRESS=PACKBITS
 - TILED=YES
 - TFW=YES
 - BIGTIFF=IF_NEEDED

 Any user-defined options should override these options so this solution
 would be beneficial to the advanced user and the beginner. A similar
 politic could be used for the pyramids.
