This is a command-line suite of programs -- don't download it if you want a slick GUI.
That said, it is a wonderful tool for modifying images via scripts, which is great for batch processing.
How much time would you spend re-sizing a folder full of images, using Photoshop? With ImageMagick, it's one command line.
If you need to manipulate images from a script, this is the tool for you. You can even call it from PHP to manipulate images on-the-fly on a website, for generating thumbnail images, for example.

Well while I appreciate the opensource community for its contributions to the OS X experience- this is an X11 dependent app no? IMHO apps like this should be left on SourceForge and not billed on places like Versiontracker. While I can build my own app and compile where someone else has done the work its not the easiest thing to do for most folks.
While very useful, this application and what it takes to get working is as user friendly as Linux is to a new-to-computers users. Not for the squeamish or those who barely even know their way around a GUI.

The true great apps are those that can do complex stuff in an easy way for users. Imagemagick can be a great curiosity for programmers but will always be a niche for those who like to delirate by being able to rotate an image writing 5 words and a couple of characters. I don't have time for that so I like to rotate mine by drooping a menu, sorry. I use extensively open source software and I always encourage the groups of developers to pay as much attention to the GUI's as to the quality of underlying code. Some projects are moving toward this way of thinking and are experiencing success, such as NEOOFFICE, GIMP, GRASS, QGIS, every flavor of LInux operative systems and so on. These code only "apps" are great as prototypes to test code but are archaic applications as user experience.
