RMagick and ImageMagick or GraphicsMagick

I decided to use ImageMagick, rather than GraphicsMagick. It seems the newest version of RMagick has a helpful convenience method that seems to make the thumbnails trivial. When using RMagick 1, that method didn't seem to exist. To use RMagick 2, however, I need to be using a recent version of ImageMagick, rather than GraphicsMagick. Good thing Ubuntu is so good at handling all the dependencies. I reckon Fedora will be as well.

It's pretty sweet that these tools can actually change these photos. Hopefully the watermark won't be too bad.
