Hi @Luke_Parker, if you run `syft --help` it will show you all the flags available. This is from 1.22.0:

```auto
$ syft --help
...

Flags:
      --base-path string base directory for scanning, no links will be followed above this directory, and all paths will be reported relative to this directory
  -c, --config stringArray syft configuration file(s) to use
      --enrich stringArray enable package data enrichment from local and online sources (options: all, golang, java, javascript)
      --exclude stringArray exclude paths from being scanned using a glob expression
      --file string file to write the default report output to (default is STDOUT) (DEPRECATED: use: --output FORMAT=PATH)
      --from stringArray specify the source behavior to use (e.g. docker, registry, oci-dir, ...)
  -h, --help help for syft
  -o, --output stringArray report output format (<format>=<file> to output to a file), formats=[cyclonedx-json cyclonedx-xml github-json spdx-json spdx-tag-value syft-json syft-table syft-text template] (default [syft-table])
      --override-default-catalogers stringArray set the base set of catalogers to use (defaults to 'image' or 'directory' depending on the scan source)
      --parallelism int number of cataloger workers to run in parallel
      --platform string an optional platform specifier for container image sources (e.g. 'linux/arm64', 'linux/arm64/v8', 'arm64', 'linux')
      --profile stringArray configuration profiles to use
  -q, --quiet suppress all logging output
  -s, --scope string selection of layers to catalog, options=[squashed all-layers] (default "squashed")
      --select-catalogers stringArray add, remove, and filter the catalogers to be used
      --source-name string set the name of the target being analyzed
      --source-version string set the version of the target being analyzed
  -t, --template string specify the path to a Go template file
  -v, --verbose count increase verbosity (-v = info, -vv = debug)
      --version version for syft

Use "syft [command] --help" for more information about a command.

```

What do you expect `--add-packages-image-id` to do?
