ImageMagick and GD are 2 of the most widely used graphic software libraries available on the market. They make the dynamic creation and editing of images and graphs on a site feasible, so they must be installed on a web server if you host your sites on it and you would want to have something different than static images with fixed dimensions. If ImageMagick and GD are present, you will be able to edit any image in a variety of ways - generate thumbnails, change the colors, flip it, blur it, etc. However, these tweaks are doable if the script application which you use on your site enables you to perform such things. The two libraries can be used with many programming languages - PHP, Python, Perl, and so on., and support more than a hundred commonly used image formats that you will be able to work with - PNG, PSD, JPEG, TIFF, GIF and others.
