ImageMagick CLI

Overview

Use ImageMagick’s magick CLI to perform deterministic image transforms and batch processing. When choosing options or flags, consult references/imagemagick-cli.md first; use other references for task-specific depth.

Default preferences:

• Prefer magick ... output.ext for safe “read → transform → write”.
• Use magick mogrify only when you explicitly want in-place edits (or use -path out/).
• For any image you touch, capture file size before and after, and report the before/after sizes plus percent reduction.
