HowTo: enable Imagemagick for the Image module

Imagemagick is a powerful image manipulation toolkit that, unlike PHP's default GD library, supports gif, png, and other raw file formats too. A lot of users have Imagemagick installed on their server already, and don't even know it. If you're using the contributed image.module in your Drupal site, and you want to access the Imagemagick already installed on your server, here's how to do it:

1. Locate the directory where you installed the Image module. It's most likely in /sites/default/modules/image or /sites/all/modules/image. Open the image folder and look for a file called 'image.imagemagick.inc'. Copy (don't move) that file to /includes/. That's a Drupal core directory, BTW.
2. After the file has been copied to your /includes/ folder on the server, surf your way to Administer > Site Configuration > Image Toolkit. There, you will find a second entry under "Select an image processing toolkit". Enable the Imagemagick library there, and click 'Save Configuration'.
3. Set the proper path to Imagemagick's Convert binary. This is usually /usr/bin/convert, but it can be in other places too. If you installed Imagemagick on your own server, you'll know where to look. If you're using a hosting company who provides it as a package, ask them *after* you try and see if the default /usr/bin/convert works or not.

You're done! If there are any questions or problems relating to this HowTo, post a comment here. If you found a bug, or something doesn't work right and you know it should, file a bug report for image.module. Full documentation on the Image module can be found in Contributed Modules > Image handbook.
