    I like ImageMagick more than any of the other graphic manipulation packages
    available. Display is a unique command (For that matter, a lot of what is in
    imageMagick is unique). Further, you are right, display provides a GUI... I
    Forgot about that. The only time I use display is to create visual directories
    of images. All of the other things I do with ImageMagic are driven by scripts I
    have written through the years.

    Also, I've got a distributed environment that I use to process thousands of images
    that utilizes ImageMagick. I've recently been looking into the feasibility to a
    small beowulf cluster as an upgrade to the distributed environment I've had for
    years. That would be hoot: process a couple of thousand images in under 30
    seconds....
