Maybe I should've said: "I don't think Image::Magick is what I need"...
Anyway... The impression I got from Image::Magick was that it allows you to manipulate existing graphics with filters only (I could be dead wrong though...)
what I would like to do is mainly compose jpg's from other jpg's and add text to them.
But again... don't hesitate to tell me if my knowledge of Image::Magick is not complete...
