Here are a few examples of what you can do with an image using ImageMagick from the command line, a program interface, or script. You can generate this image yourself with this PerlMagick script, examples.pl.

The next generation of ImageMagick, version 5, started when Bob Friesenhahn contacted me and suggested I improve the application programming interface so users could leverage the image-processing algorithms from other languages or scripts. Bob also wrote a C++ wrapper for ImageMagick called Magick++, and began contributing enhancements such as the module loader facility, automatic file identification, and test suites. In the mean-time, the project picked up a few other notable contributors: Glenn Randers-Pehrson, William Radcliffe, and Leonard Rosenthol. By now, ImageMagick was being utilized by tens of thousands of users, who reacted gruffly when a new release broke an existing API call or script. The other members of the group wanted to freeze the API and command line but I was not quite ready, since ImageMagick was not quite what I had envisioned it could be. Bob and the others created a fork of ImageMagick. I alone continued to develop ImageMagick.

I did not work alone for long. Anthony Thyssen contacted me about deficiencies in the ImageMagick command line programs. He pointed out that the command line was confusing when dealing with more than one image. He suggested an orderly, well-defined method for dealing with the command line, and this became ImageMagick version 6 (the current release). His efforts are detailed on his web pages, Examples of ImageMagick Usage. I highly recommend that you peruse his site. He has illustrated the power of ImageMagick in ways that even I did not know were possible.

It has been 20 years since ImageMagick was first conceived, and it looks likely that it will be here for another 20 and beyond. The command line and the application programming interface are stable, but there is still work to do. We are currently working on improving the conjure utility, Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) support, and adding better support for video formats.

The ImageMagick mailing lists are a low noise and subject oriented. The subject is the discussion of ImageMagick software and its use. Although the lists are unmoderated, do not post off-topic or test messages to the lists. Off-topic postings could result in the offender being silently removed from the lists and prevented from rejoining.

Magick Users

Questions and postings pertaining to the usage of ImageMagick regardless of the interface. This includes the command-line utilities, as well as the C and C++ APIs. Usage questions are like "How do I use ImageMagick to create drop shadows".

Magick Developers

Questions and postings pertaining to the development of ImageMagick, feature enhancements, and ImageMagick internals. ImageMagick source code and algorithms are discussed here. Usage questions which are too arcane for the normal user list should also be posted here

Magick Bugs

Post any defects you find in the released or beta versions of the ImageMagick software here. The ImageMagick maintainers carefully monitor this list and will work diligently to repair any reported problems. When posting a bug report, please specify both the ImageMagick version and operating system you are using.
