ImageMagick port outdated

[Sean DALY]

Hi Christoph,

I use imagemagick every day and IMv7 introduces a number of changes, in
particular the "magick" command which replaces the previous "identify",
"convert", "montage", "composite" etc. commands. The CLI parser has been
rewritten and following the previous CLI parameters order will not work. It
is however possible to invoke the previous parser using "magick convert" or
"magick composite" for example.

As an alternative, if you are on a Mac running OSX v10.13 or later, for
HEIF files use the OSX sips (Scriptable Image Processing System) tool, e.g.:

# inspect file properties
$ sips --getProperty allheic_image.heic

# convert to JPEG
$ sips --setProperty format jpeg heic_image.heic --setProperty
formatOptions high --out heic_image.jpg

sips is a good companion to imagemagick's convert for raster formats, it is
fast and offers a number of features.

As IM have stated they will support IMv6 for another ten years, it's
probably best to not rush to IMv7 considering the number of changes
