CentOS - Aug 2011 - ImageMagick : Centos GUI ?

I accidentally discovered 'convert'. It is a command line utility.
Changing a file from png to gif works like this

	convert aaa.png aaa.gif

Amazingly simple, powerful and effective.

I've since discovered it has an amazing list of options

	convert --help

a manual

	file:///usr/share/doc/ImageMagick-6.2.8/www/convert.html  

and a web site

	http://www.imagemagick.org/


Does anyone have suggestions for a GUI which works for Centos 5.6 ?
In production I run the command line program from PHP with 'exec'.


Thank you,

Paul.


Currently automatically, rotating when necessary, downsizing photographs
to 900 pixels wide (the software calculates the height) and labelling
them with the file reference and photograph date - all in one quick
operation.  Mind boggling options, more than I've ever seen in similar
software.

Really amazed :-)

imagemagick is a batch oriented utility.    putting a gui wrapper on a 
batch program inevitably ends up with something clunky and not usable.

for GUI image editing, you want to use something interactive like Gimp.

ImageMagick includes its own GUI:

man display

And see:

man ImageMagick

for a complete list of ImageMagick programs.

The GUI is rather basic -- it is not meant as a anything like a
replacement for the likes of GIMP or xv or any of the other other image
display and manipulation programs out there.  ImageMagick is meant to
be a *CLI* workhorse.

This is a mailing list, a conversational forum. not a blog or a 
documentaion forum. If you want to contribute such stuff productively, 
do so in the wiki, where it would be appreciated and actually worthwhile.
