Magickwand is by the same third party bringing you the binary. The only requirement to install the php extension is a recent version of imagemagick.
From point of view of an object-oriented php developer, magickwand is pretty clean and saves time if you need to fully exercise imagemagick capabilities, handle errors, etc. see docs re-posted at https://dev.goodstorm.com/magickwand/
Would be nice to support both the binary and php extension. --mark On 5/2/06, Adrian Rossouw <adrian@bryght.com> wrote:

Hi, we did some work on using the magickwand php extension http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/contributions/sandbox/mfb/ includes/image.magickwand.inc
As of yet I don't think it correctly supports layers (e.g., if a user uploads a PSD file with multiple layers and effects, the resulting PNG will not be what they expect). The issue with the magickwand api is also thhat it's a third party library that needs to be compiled / installed by the system administrator. It's not nearly as widely available and well tested as the imagemagick binary itself.
That code is an excellent starting point though =)
