    gd is a 'library' or set of functions that can be added to php for image manipulation. There's quite a few tutorials on it out there. My primary issue with it has always been speed. It runs a bit slow depending on how extensively you're using it.

    ImageMagick is a command-line app that can be installed on linux (i believe there's a gui version and other platform support as well). You can use php's system functions to use ImageMagick. It's confusing, but incredibly robust and fast

    I think there's also a php extension for ImageMagick, although I've never looked into it much.

    hit google and you should find some tutorials and sample code on both.
