Chocolatey: imagemagick

ImageMagick is a software suite to create, edit, compose, or convert bitmap images.
It's pretty fucking magickal.

ImageMagick was installed by default on a number of other Linux distributions I've used. However, I don't recall if I used ImageMagick, or not, back then.
2016-04-27 - 7.0.0-0-portable-Q16-x64 ∞
After some googling with the previous version, I grabbed a portable version from ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/binaries/
Well.. it works.
misadventure - But good fucking luck trying to make an image slideshow which is imported into Open Broadcaster Software with transparency / chroma key. It's impossible. Antialiasing, fuzzing, feathering, colours, blah blah.. fuck it .. fuck it all!

Installed with Chocolatey with:
chocolatey.exe install imagemagick
I had to say yes to a bunch of prompts.
Comes with FFmpeg.

I uninstalled it, but it uninstalled one package... where its installation was three. Sigh.

This came with Slackware.

Although the version I have installed is 8:6.7.7.10-6ubuntu3, I haven't used this in a long time. My originally-installed version may well be different than this currently-installed version.
(no notes were recorded)
This probably came with Lubuntu.
