To be honest Moof
I keep checking back on this thread with the HOPE that you will support Image Magic
with image magick you do not need to re-compile anything if the version you are using (GD) is not supported.
It is by far superior in every way to GD.
Any website that is serious about images USES Image Magick.
We can only hope that this fantastic Mod - "that I voted for Mod of the month - even though I cannot use it

" will one day support image magick
