Graphics extensis gd2 and ImageMagick

Hey y'all!

Currently I am using a weblog system that appears to have stopped being actively developed and I am considering a switch to sendipity.
There's a question I have about the required modules and extensions for graphics use:

My gd version (according to phpinfo()) 1.6.2 or higher. will that be sufficient to use all the features serendipity has to offer? Unfortunately I do not have Image Magick installed..

I'm not sure about that. How come you can't get ImageMagick installed?

Even though the FAQ says that you need GD2, I'd give GD1.6 a shot. They only thing it needs to be able to do is scale images, and I would think GD1.6 can do that. But I'm not sure. Not at all...

Have a nice sunday.

Easy answer

I do not have direct access to my hosting computer. And my provider doesn't feel like installing Image Magick, so I'll have to stick with what's there..

Did you give it a try with gd1?

unfortunately not yet. Life got in the way of getting things done and I had to postpone trying out serendipity..
