ImageMagick port outdated

[Sean DALY]

Dave - that is my understanding, but I haven’t tested it. I have a ton of
scripts and code snippets which would break with IMv7 and my Macs also run
older OSes so I am not in a rush to move to IMv7. I use sips often in
conjuction with imagemagick, the sips color profile and metadata handling
is excellent
