I think we can get maximum power from image manipulation using very simple approach. Since ImageAPI uses Imagemagick command line 'convert' program atm, why not to add fallback action which is simply direct command line parameters for 'convert'? :)

The User Interface for adding/editing the action may include single textarea field.

For those who skilled with IM, this will bring much more powerfull then the rest of current image actions.

It was somewhat more complicated than you might imagine, but I've created a module - ImageMagick raw action - to allow passing ImageMagick command line parameters direct. It requires a patch to imageapi at present but works. See the modules project page for more details: http://drupal.org/project/im_raw

Closing this issue since my module provides the feature.
