According to the summary of features by Freshports the two you mentioned seem to be excessive for my needs, which at the moment I only require for changing the size of imported desktop background images.What exactly do you mean by image manipulation software? graphics/gimp? Or more like graphics/ImageMagick7?
I have successfully installed Gimp as the software that, at the moment, suits my needs, .Imagemagick has a bunch of tools to use in scripts. That was basically what I was trying to ask, if you needed an application like GIMP or a collection of tools for use in scripts like ImageMagick.
If you are going to use those images as a desktop background, look at graphics/feh.feh(1)I only require for changing the size of imported desktop background images.
DESCRIPTION
feh is a light-weight, configurable and versatile image viewer. It is
aimed at command line users, but can also be started from graphical file
managers. Apart from viewing images, it can compile text and thumbnail
listings, show (un)loadable files, set X11 backgrounds, and more.
Just for the record: ImageMagicks commandImagemagick has a bunch of tools to use in scripts. That was basically what I was trying to ask, if you needed an application like GIMP or a collection of tools for use in scripts like ImageMagick.
display
mustn't be used by script or command line - it's a well featured image editor with its own GUI.
