// single image
$image_data = $rim->getSingleImageTypeAndSize('http://domain/path_to_png_file.png');

// this will $image_data contain
$image_data = array(
    'type' => 'png',
    'width' => '450',
    'height' => '320'
);

// multiple image fetch
$images_data_input = array(
	'png_image' => 'http://domain/path_to_png_image.png',
	'gif_image'	=> 'http://domain/path_to_gif_image.gif',
	'jpg_image' => 'http://domain/path_to_jpeg_image.jpg'
);

// rim options
$rim_options = array(
	'max_num_of_threads' => 3, // how many threads to use, 10 is default
);
$images_data = $rim->getMultiImageTypeAndSize($images_data_input, $rim_options);

// this will $images_data contain
