In my SYS setup, I selected ImageMagick option, but when processing images, the top line shows that I am using GD library
So, which one is it and if the Image Processing uses GD Library, how can I switch it to ImageMagick? Or should I ignore that message?
Below are the screen shots:
Thanks in advance,

I am not sure that setting works. Do a search in this section of symbiostock...there are two or three threads on image processing. You have to add a line of code to your php.ini file found in your root directory. Some people have to change the version of php their server is using. I am on my ipad right now and its just not easy for me to find threads and copy and paste or i would help you more.

And if adding the code to your php.ini file doesn't work contact the tech support of your host to make sure you have that option to use it. My host I'm on doesn't allow it unless I'm on their Virtual Server plan.

I had to make sure my php.ini file had the following line it it.
extension = imagick.so
It still did not work and had to call tech support for my hosting provider (lunarpages). They ended up having to install the PECL imagick extension on the server I was being hosted on. It then showed ImageMagick being used as the image processor.
Here is one of the threads discussing it.
