What kind of image manipulation? It would probably help to explain what you're doing or attempting to do.

GD can perform that on the more common image types. It's often suggested to cache the thumbnails instead of always doing them on-the-fly due to the massive performance difference.

"Image Magick" and "GD" are two separate image libraries.
