## Instruction

Write a C# program that loads an image from a stream, applies JPEG quality settings, and saves it to another stream.

## Usings

```csharp
using Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Codecs;
```

## Code Snippet

```csharp
using (var readStream = System.IO.File.OpenRead("Chicago.jpg"))
using (var writerStream = System.IO.File.OpenWrite("LoadSaveStream.jpg"))
using (var bitmap = new Bitmap(readStream))
{
    bitmap.Save(writerStream, new JpegSettings(85));
}
```
