Aye. Intersting typo there: "lie ahead"!="lied ahead".
I love ImageMagick. It proves that scriptability is a property that can't be
beaten. I have some complex ImageMagick scripts running on my box every 10
minutes (producing and annotating screenshots 'on the fly', to be
broadcasted over the Web'). I can also process thousands of photos with
minimal user intervention using ImageMagick, or a front-end called Pixie
Plus (it seems to no longer be bundled/maintained).
