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.

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.
