Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

Yes, IM can be used for illustrating. However, it isn't interactive. There are no buttons or sliders. Instead, you drive it by typing command lines, or from scripts, or compiled programs. This makes it quite hard to learn but extremely powerful. You can do very complex sequences of operations, and easily repeat them on different images.

You can get ideas on what IM can do, and how to do it, from the usage pages: http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/

The main reference page for the command options is: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/comma ... ptions.php

Where is the original post?

By the way, for new users who want to test IM, they might try the interactive web-based JqMagick at jqmagick.imagemagick.org

The OP vanished. An illustrator who used Adobe tools had heard that IM might be useful.
