for example, making a thumb in imagemagick is one line of code, and you can easily sharpen it, specify quality, size, etc... with GD all that is a pain in the ass, even something as trivial as moving the watermark to the top right instead or resizing it at the same time becomes an exercise with GD or if you wanted to sharpen the thumb in GD you are shit out of luck unless you are willing to jump through major hoops...

I have not used imagemagick much. If I remember right, Dravyk's ContentGod used imagemagick for some of it's image manipulation. I am thinking it used imagemagick for image manipulation and ffmpeg for the video stuff. So, I think I touched it a little bit way back when. I was the last developer on ContentGod before Drav died
I worked much more with the video stuff then the image stuff though.
So, I might go play with that some.
I don't need image manipulation for most of my projects, it is just something I like to play with.
Thanks for your opinion, as always.
