When the pixel cache is initialized, pixels are scaled from whatever bit depth they originated from to that required by the pixel cache. For example, a 1-channel 1-bit monochrome PBM image is scaled to a 4 channel 8-bit RGBA image, if you are using the Q8 version of ImageMagick, and 16-bit RGBA for the Q16 version. You can determine which version you have using the ‑version option, as with this command:
- $magick> identify -versionVersion: ImageMagick 6.5.5-10 2009-09-15 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org
+ $magick> identify -versionVersion: ImageMagick 6.5.6-0 2009-09-15 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org
As you can see, the convenience of the pixel cache sometimes comes with a trade-off in storage (e.g. storing a 1-bit monochrome image as 16-bit RGBA is wasteful) and speed (i.e. storing the entire image in memory is generally slower than accessing one scanline of pixels at a time).

Set the MAGICK_HOME environment variable to the path where you extracted the ImageMagick files. For example:
- $magick> export MAGICK_HOME="$HOME/ImageMagick-6.5.5"
+ $magick> export MAGICK_HOME="$HOME/ImageMagick-6.5.6"
If the bin subdirectory of the extracted package is not already in your executable search path, add it to your PATH environment variable. For example:
$magick> export PATH="$MAGICK_HOME/bin:$PATH"

ImageMagick runs on all recent Windows releases except Windows 95 / 98. We recommend its use on an NT-based version of Windows (NT4, 2000, 2003, XP, or Vista). Starting with ImageMagick 5.5.7, older versions such as Windows 95 / 98 are not supported anymore. The amount of memory can be an important factor, especially if you intend to work on large images. A minimum of 256 MB of RAM is recommended, but the more RAM the better. Although ImageMagick runs fine on a single core computer, it automagically runs in parallel on dual and quad-core systems reducing run times considerably.
The Windows version of ImageMagick is self-installing. Simply click on the appropriate version below and it will launch itself and ask you a few installation questions. Versions with Q8 in the name are 8 bits-per-pixel component (e.g. 8-bit red, 8-bit green, etc.), whereas, Q16 in the filename are 16 bits-per-pixel component. A Q16 version permits you to read or write 16-bit images without losing precision but requires twice as much resources as the Q8 version. Versions with dll in the filename include ImageMagick libraries as dynamic link libraries. If you are not sure which version is appropriate, choose
-ImageMagick-6.5.5-10-Q16-windows-dll.exe.
+ImageMagick-6.5.6-0-Q16-windows-dll.exe.
