My personal experience is that PIL has a very easy to use interface but falls over on a number of image formats like interlaced PNG (which are all over the web!), while GraphicsMagick (the stable fork of ImageMagick) can handle absolutely anything, but is a pain to interface with.<div>
<br></div><div>PythonMagickWand looks pretty nice, I just wish someone would sit down and do a decent interface for the native GraphicsMagick API since at least I've found ImageMagick to be more of a pain to build/maintain!</div>

Turns out it's for favicons, and apparently PIL isn't good about transparent images. Does ImageMagick/FreeImage win out in this case? We were using an alpha setting and a pythonmagickwand.wand.LANCZOS_FILTER filter, is there anything like this in PIL?<br>
