-Generate PDFs using separate compression for foreground and background
+Generate PDFs (or DJVU) using separate compression for foreground and background
 
 ## Usage
 
@@ -14,7 +14,9 @@ All black pixels (#000000) will be considered to be foreground, and all remainin
 
 The foreground will be compressed losslessly using [JBIG2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JBIG2). The background will be compressed lossily using [JPEG](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG). JPEG quality can be controlled using the `--jpeg-quality` option; the default is the Pillow default (75% at time of writing).
 
-Dependencies:
+Additional compression algorithms are supported (JPEG 2000, PNG); see `--help` for detailed options. DJVU output (foreground JB2, background IW44) is also supported.
+
+## Dependencies
 
 * [Python 3](https://www.python.org/) (tested using 3.13.3)
 	* [NumPy](https://numpy.org/) (tested using 2.2.5)
