Hi Piotr,

Thank you so much for your the information.
1) Are you saying that I only have installed Image_Magick but must add
its PHP extension as well?
2) Is this a good place to install it? (http://php.net/manual/en/
install.pecl.php)
3) and then the extension from http://pecl.php.net/package/imagick ?

Please let me know this .


All the best,
Amit
