I second the use of MiniMagick. I ripped out Rmagick from a project and dropped in MiniMagick and it made a huge difference. MiniMagick just calls out to the existing command line tools, so it can do anything that they can do, but it gives you a nicer API. The technology is pretty old, but I'm not familiar with anything better.
