Yes.  It *is* a command-line editor.  If you know what algorithms you
want to apply, you can script it; it's excellent for web pipelines.
See http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/ for lots of examples.  It also
has a command called "display", which allows you to apply the
individual commands to the image being displayed.  It's not a paint
program, but there are many operations you can do interactively using
the WIMP interface.

One problem is that it is a major resource pig.  It only has one
depth for in-memory images, which IIRC can be 16, 32, or 64 bpp (multiple
of 4 because of the alpha channel).  Running out of memory on a 1GB
system is not uncommon.
