Oh, yes, it was!  :-)  There used to be a command in /usr/bin named
imagemagick and if you launched it, it brought up an interface with
menus/buttons that you could click on.  Granted, I haven't used it in
quite a while.  However, I used to use it all the time to scale graphics
when I was writing the handbook for krecipes and convert images from
jpeg to png.
