I would like to add that ImageMagick is probably one of the more feature packed general image processing systems for both UNIX and windows. That is for the batch processing of images from the command line.

There are other systems but these are often tied in complex and difficult to use ways with graphical image editors, which makes it difficult to use in a non-graphical setting such as web servers and batch processing environments.
