Folks,
ImageMagick is certifiable Good Stuff, and it's been around for dog's years, yet when one looks to see what Big Name projects use it (either in open source-land or in the commercial realm), I can't find any named uses.
I have to believe the uses exist...we just don't see them. Does anyone know who/what/where uses ImageMagick as a critical piece of their environment or toolchain? It'd be more than interesting to know.
Thanks.
bob

more often than not it is hidden behind the scenes.
Web pages, and Video Processing packages will often make use of it, sometimes only 'if available'.
I myself have come across programs using the "convert" command, often when I least expect it.
It is one of those packages that do things, and is "just there" when scripts need to batch convert or process images in some way.

Cinemaslides (I'm the author) is a tool to create Digital Cinema Packages (DCPs) from all kinds of images -- slideshows really, including movies (rapid slideshows). ImageMagick is the central tool in there for conforms, resizes, color transforms etc. No way to do it that simple without IM.

A lot of websites use it.
See a website automatically convert an image you upload to a thumbnail? It's probably ImageMagick, sometimes working alongside with stuff like PHP GD.

http://www.reallusion.com/ uses it heavily in all their products like iClone and CrazyTalk..

I noticed when I wanted to run a script and needed a version of IM not available in the UBUNTU repos, that the uninstall of my previous version removed another program called XvidCap, which I used for screen video capture.

That would be very strange. I do not see how a normal remove of IM would remove any other software unless it was a delegate used by IM and installed from an IM binary.
Re: I know they're there...but who the heck is using ImageMa
xvidcap seems to depend on imagemagick. I don't know why, but this is in the distribution and
could explain what happened to you:
debian/control:Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, scrollkeeper, imagemagick

Our new service http://redid.net/ depends heavily on ImageMagick. We're using it to provide on-demand image transformations to simplify web development.
