29 Oh, yes, it was! :-) There used to be a command in /usr/bin named
30 imagemagick and if you launched it, it brought up an interface with
31 menus/buttons that you could click on. Granted, I haven't used it in
32 quite a while. However, I used to use it all the time to scale graphics
33 when I was writing the handbook for krecipes and convert images from
34 jpeg to png.
