I use ImageMagick for processing files uploaded to web sites and web databases. It can process files, create thumbnails, generate image information, enhance, resize, etc, etc. The web site is the user interface. This isn't a substitute for Photoshop. Its completely different and a lot more useful for the type of web applications I am creating. Its more a programmer's tool than a user's tool. I think we should keep these Unix tools on VersionTracker. The best thing about the Mac is it can do the flashy GUI stuff (Photoshop) and the cool Unix stuff (ImageMagick) equally well. I want both!

This software seems extremely useful but, unfortunately, many of us are not familiar with UNIX and Command Line Interface.

Bytesmiths, using photoshop, I can spend a couple of seconds to do any batch processing with it!! And I can prepare very complex batch actions visually. Better, I don't need to pay attention to a language syntax or to a command spelling error!
The true great apps are those that can do complex stuff in an easy way for users. Imagemagick can be a great curiosity for programmers but will always be a niche for those who like to delirate by being able to rotate an image writing 5 words and a couple of characters. I don't have time for that so I like to rotate mine by drooping a menu, sorry. I use extensively open source software and I always encourage the groups of developers to pay as much attention to the GUI's as to the quality of underlying code. Some projects are moving toward this way of thinking and are experiencing success, such as NEOOFFICE, GIMP, GRASS, QGIS, every flavor of LInux operative systems and so on. These code only "apps" are great as prototypes to test code but are archaic applications as user experience.
