Hey Tony,
	ImageMagick is awesome. :) As to the question of whether it's the best 
solution or not... well, that depends on what you're using it for, I 
guess. I've never had a problem with image quality using ImageMagick.
	I /can/ tell you that if you're doing this for the web, and you're 
planning on taking a bunch o' big image files and dynamically making a 
bunch 'o thumbnails at each page load, you're going to find that that's 
resource-intensive and slow whether you use ImageMagick or something 
else. You can still do it - but plan on building a way to cache the 
thumbs somehow.
