Frequently asked questions.
What difference does it make?
ImageMagick can result in huge improvements in the quality of re-sized images.
Take a look at the supplied screenshot, or try it yourself.
Note that the new images tend to be slightly larger than those of the standard GD library, especially if you specify a very high image quality (95+).
