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

I searched for that command, I can't find it or any reference to it having any GUI at all. According to the wiki:

"The software mainly consists of a number of command-line interface <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command-line_interface> utilities for manipulating images. ImageMagick does *not* have a GUI <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphical_user_interface>-based interface to edit images, as do Adobe Photoshop <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Photoshop> and GIMP <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIMP>, but instead modifies existing images as directed by various command-line parameters. "

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ImageMagick

I also can't find anything on their website about a GUI either. There are front ends to it tho. This from the imagemagick website:

"The functionality of ImageMagick is typically utilized from the command line or you can use the features from programs written in your favorite language. Choose from these interfaces: G2F <http://www.imagemagick.org/script/api.php#ada> (Ada), MagickCore <http://www.imagemagick.org/script/api.php#c> (C), MagickWand <http://www.imagemagick.org/script/api.php#c> (C), ChMagick <http://www.imagemagick.org/script/api.php#ch> (Ch), ImageMagickObject <http://www.imagemagick.org/script/api.php#com_> (COM+), Magick++ <http://www.imagemagick.org/script/api.php#c__> (C++), JMagick <http://www.imagemagick.org/script/api.php#java> (Java), L-Magick <http://www.imagemagick.org/script/api.php#lisp> (Lisp), NMagick <http://www.imagemagick.org/script/api.php#neko> (Neko/haXe), MagickNet <http://www.imagemagick.org/script/api.php#dot-net> (.NET), PascalMagick <http://www.imagemagick.org/script/api.php#pascal> (Pascal), PerlMagick <http://www.imagemagick.org/script/api.php#perl> (Perl), MagickWand for PHP <http://www.imagemagick.org/script/api.php#php> (PHP), IMagick <http://www.imagemagick.org/script/api.php#php> (PHP), PythonMagick <http://www.imagemagick.org/script/api.php#python> (Python), RMagick <http://www.imagemagick.org/script/api.php#ruby> (Ruby), or TclMagick <http://www.imagemagick.org/script/api.php#tcl> (Tcl/TK). With a language interface, use ImageMagick to modify or create images dynamically and /automagically/."

I'm not sure if any of those are GUI tho.

Maybe whatever distro you were using sort of played a name game with the command? The command was named imagemagick but was actually pointing to something else that had a GUI and was a front end for it.

Krecipe huh?  Installing it now.  I like to cook and eat.  lol
