I would like to be able to generate an image using multiple image sources and text - including a background image, an avatar to be added to the image, three icons, and several bits of text - all user-generated. I've been looking at ImageMagick, but what is the best way to do this?

ImageMagick or GD are pretty much your only options. I'm guessing, but I think GD might have more functionality when it comes to compositing images.

I'm not so sure. I've used ImageMagick a fair bit and there's nothing I haven't been able to do with it. Sure there are some advantages with GD but there are also some with IM. Both do the job equally as well in my opinion, but I always go for ImageMagick.
