ImageMagick is a powerful suite of tools in Ubuntu for scripting batch manipulations of images. Conversion between formats, resizing and hundreds of sophisticated filters can all be automated with only a few keystrokes. For that reason, it is popular with web developers, photographers and other users who have a large number of images that must be manipulated in the same way repeatedly. ImageMagick is not included with Ubuntu by default, but it can be installed easily using the "apt-get" tool. Your computer will need to be connected to the Internet while the install takes place.
