Don't assume you're getting downvoted through simple fanboyism. Your comment is thin and unproductive, and flies in the face of the experiences of many. We've been using ImageMagick in our product for about 6 years. Across 4 new Mac laptops and 3 versions of OS X, `sudo port install imagemagick` has never worked for me. I've had similar woes on Ubuntu with `apt-get install imagemagick`. I don't know if the fault lies with ImageMagick itself, the package managers, or just the simple fact that ImageMagick has an extraordinary number of library and environmental dependencies which are always moving. Even today, my local development environment loads and runs ImageMagick with no errors or warnings, yet emits only black and white graphics -- no color. At this point, I'm exhausted of trying to fix it, and I've given up. I've never tried brew, but I'm more than willing to give it a shot.
