*ImageMagick* is a set of UNIX tools that can be used to read, write, and
manipulate images in almost any format including TIFF, JPEG, PNG, PDF,
PhotoCD, and GIF. The advantage of ImageMagick is that it can be used to
create images dynamically, making it suitable for Web apps. In addition, you
can resize, rotate, sharpen, color reduce and add special effects to an image
with ImageMagick. However, ImageMagick is strictly for those familiar with
the Terminal or command line as there is no GUI. You can only make changes to
images using commands such as "$magick> convert rose.jpg rose.png". For those
familiar with programming languages, you can use C, C++, Perl, Java, PHP,
Python, or Ruby to make changes. A high-quality 2D renderer is also included
which provides SVG capabilities. If you are familiar with programming
commands, then the range of actions possible with ImageMagick is truly
impressive, including conversions, resizing, transparencies, animated GIFs
and shape drawing. However, the lack of GUI will exclude most people from
using it. *If you know your way around programming languages and need a
powerful command line based tool, Image Magick is worth exploring.*Download
