I am currently using the free version, but I have a question. How do I enable imagemagick on my install? I have searched every setting page and I cannot find a place to do this. * Here are the server settings from the plugin home page Operating System : Linux( 64 Bit) Server : Apache Memory usage : 22.35 MByte MYSQL Version : 5.5.37-35.1 SQL Mode : Not set PHP Version : 5.5.13 PHP Safe Mode : Off PHP Allow URL fopen: On PHP Memory Limit : 256 PHP Max Upload Size : 64M PHP Max Post Size : 64M PCRE Backtracking Limit : 1000000 PHP Max Script Execute Time : 30s PHP Exif support: Yes ( V1.4 ) PHP IPTC support : Yes PHP XML support : Yes Graphic Library * GD Version : bundled (2.1.0 compatible) FreeType Support : Yes FreeType Linkage: with freetype T1Lib Support : No GIF Read Support : Yes GIF Create Support : Yes JPEG Support : Yes PNG Support : Yes WBMP Support : Yes XPM Support : No XBM Support : Yes JIS-mapped Japanese Font Support : No * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/nextgen-gallery/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/nextgen-gallery/) Viewing 5 replies - 1 through 5 (of 5 total) * Plugin Contributor [photocrati](https://wordpress.org/support/users/photocrati/) * (@photocrati) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/imagemagick/#post-5108414) * [@ryanmc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ryanmc/) – We do not have an option to “enable imagemagick” … is there a specific reason you require it? * Perhaps this would be better as a Feature Request item here: [http://www.nextgen-gallery.com/feature-voting/](http://www.nextgen-gallery.com/feature-voting/) * Thanks! * – Cais. * Thread Starter [ryanmc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ryanmc/) * (@ryanmc) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/imagemagick/#post-5108455) * I saw that there is an imagemagick.inc.php class in the files and was just curious. * Plugin Contributor [photocrati](https://wordpress.org/support/users/photocrati/) * (@photocrati) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/imagemagick/#post-5108499) * [@ryanmc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ryanmc/) – Yes, it is included with NextGEN Gallery as an alternative to the GD libraries. * – Cais. * Thread Starter [ryanmc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ryanmc/) * (@ryanmc) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/imagemagick/#post-5108502) * So how do I use the Imagemagick library instead of the GD libraries? I am asking because I am having trouble ([http://wordpress.org/support/topic/transparent-watermark-on-pgn?replies=5#post-5812620](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/transparent-watermark-on-pgn?replies=5#post-5812620)) with a transparent png watermark and I would like to see if imagemagick can handle it better. * Plugin Contributor [photocrati](https://wordpress.org/support/users/photocrati/) * (@photocrati) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/imagemagick/#post-5108506) * [@ryanmc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ryanmc/) – I would suspect you will need to hack into the core plugin code (which we really do not recommend or support) to force your site to not use the GD libraries. * Again, not recommended, but this is the only place imagemagick is called in NextGEN Gallery: `products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/ngglegacy/lib/core.php:309` * Please make sure you have a fully verified complete backup of your site before making any modifications … just in case. * – Cais.
