There is a module for PHP, called IMagick, which is full functioning API of ImageMagick lib.
Why ImageAPI uses external process 'convert' with restricted functionality (comparing to 'compose', for example)?

I think the ImageMagick part of ImageAPI should be rewritten and start using native calls.

I'm afraid its more a matter or full rewrite then patching :)

first of all new development doesn't happen in old branches, second of all imagick is totally broken. dopry'd tried using it initially and had nothing but problems. if you'd like to take a swing at writing an toolkit for it in D6 we'd love the help.

First, I don't care about anything except D5: port all modules to D6 then promote it ;-)

Some Servers don't allow proc_open() or even is_file(). There we need the use of IMagick.

Tried IMagick. Should confirm, that its too buggy and unstable to be seriously considered as solution. Crap :)
