Lower Resolution??? #107

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I noticed that the program can be super resource intensive sometimes. I have a 2019 MacBook Pro however it can only handle so much. My sole purpose of this program is to use it as a webcam, however, it eats up a lot of my cpu.

Describe the solution you'd like I was wondering if you could provide options to lower the resolution of the output that way it isn't so heavy on the CPU. 1920 x 1080 is kind of too much for what I need. So maybe add a preferences window that allows you to lower the resolution of the image. such as 1280 X 720. This would be such a nice feature.

Are you using the "stable" version 11? The Canon SDK uses a lot of CPU power for some reason. Lowering the resolution isn't something that would help.

The alpha version 13 has much better CPU usage.
