I've tried to install it both via CPAN (limited success) and via some
standalone package from the ImageMagick website (less success) on Mac
OSX 10.5 server. Once I've installed it, some commands will run,
others will not. The wiki platform we're using is Perl-based and runs
on top of Server's built-in Apache. The extensions call ImageMagick to
provide such tasks as thumbnail gallery building, search users by
photo, etc. I can never get the whole package to work because of
unresolvable dependencies. Because I can't get the whole thing to
work, the extensions that call it won't work either.
I have not tried Fink or MacPorts. Those are both great suggestions
and I'll try them when I get a chance.

I don't recall offhand if I installed it via Fink or MacPorts, and I"m
not on my Mac right now, but it works fine..

If someone actually gets ImageMagick working completely on OSX, I'd

hear how. I've been trying on and off for about two years for a
wiki server.
Have read some places that it's not really supported for Macs, and
that one
should use instead PerlMagick. But I can't get it to work properly
with the
wiki extensions I need.

ImageMagick is a great suggestion - visible watermarking is
trivial using
the "composite" command (one of the standard ImageMagick tools).
For instance, if you have a watermark.png with transparency built
in to
the image (via an alpha) then the following would work:
composite -gravity center watermark.png image.tif
result.jpg
This would take watermark.png, overlay it in the center of
image.tif, and
save the results to result.jpg
There's also a "watermark" option, but that's mainly for watermark
images
which have no transparency (you define the blending modes in the
script
step, rather than using transparency in the watermark image -
which I find
preferably).
Image Events/sips (both built in to OSX) don't support compositing
images,
so they won't really help. ImageMagick is pretty straightforward and
enormously useful for anyone automating imaging operations.
