Why do I get image.gd.inc error when I have Imagemagick installed?

Description

I get an out of memory error (image.gd.inc on line 190) when trying to edit an image node.

Why is this happening when I only have the Imagemagick module installed? Why do I get a GD error? I specifically chose Imagemagick because of the better memory use.

It depends on where the resizing is done. If it's not using the ImageAPI then it'll fall back to core's toolkit and use that. The Image module has a file named image.imagemagick.inc that's an ImageMagick toolkit for core that you can place in your /includes directory.

Fixed.

My PHP memory limit was 32M. I added image.imagemagick.inc to /includes, then enabled the Imagemagick as my toolkit. This fixed the problem! The problem image did not throw the out of memory error any more.

I also upped the PHP memory limit in settings.php to 128M, now all editing feels faster, the whole site feels faster (in admin mode)
