imagemagick is installed on my TC 10.x x86_64 laptop, but not working. No luck with either screenshots (via import) or shrinking images (via convert):
bruno@box:/opt$ import /tmp/screenshot.jpg
import: no encode delegate for this image format `PS' @ error/constitute.c/WriteImage/1235.
bruno@box:/mnt/data/bruno/Pictures$ convert ./sad_panda.jpg -resize 800x600 -quality 80 ./small.jpg
convert: no decode delegate for this image format `JPEG' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/560.
convert: no images defined `./small.jpg' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3258.
Any ideas how to fix this? ImageMagick seems complicated and I obviously know too little about it to fix this myself, as I've been going around in circles for hours. All imagemagick.tcz's dependencies are loaded.

Repo may have old ver.
ImageMagic errors:
..1) Upgrade to latest ver: IM 6.3.2 is too old. *https://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?t=14204
...2) Not tried, but thru Env var path : *https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37594157/imagemagick-no-decode-delegate-for-this-image-format-error-constitute-c-re :)

I can see that /usr/local/etc/ImageMagick-6/configure.xml is missing, but even with this things don't work:
$ convert -version

The version I was using was :
If you type :
convert --help at prompt,
you may see following :
ImageMagic 6.7.7-10 2014-03-06 Q16 (C) 1999-2012 ImageMagic Studio LLC Features: OpenMP
Usage:
convert.im6
This command was supporting -adjoin , -alpha , -antialias , -format , -quality value JPEG, PNG etc , -auto-orient, -flip , -rotate, -morph etc and so on
.From IM help:
To specify image format use (colon) ps:image or (suffix) image.ps .
Specify 'file' as '-' for standard input or output.
.. Afterusing import command with filename, I was able to select a screen area with mouse. This selected area was combined with the selected file , etc etc.
... While using command with proper *syntacs* . :)
Note: I was using x86-32 !

I get the same exact output as juanito when I run convert -version and convert -list format
-
By the way, in TC10.0 86-32 ver, pl note that , IMagic current repo ver has missing dep of libffi.tcz. .
.. Dnload and load this file with IMagic. And using sudo mc or in command prompt , symlink /usr/local/lib/libffi.so.6 to /lib/libffi.so.5
.. because import command requires libffi.so.5 . Then use import command.

Pats, which version of TC are you using? I think you are using the 32bit version.
In TC 10.1 32bit when I try using import I get an error about libffi missing. After installing libffi.tcz in TC 10.1 32bit, all the ImageMagick commands work just fine.
My problem in 64bit is different. Neither the import nor convert work because of missing encode/decode delegates. Presumably after I manage to fix the delegates problem, then I'll need to fetch the missing library for the import command. So please help me get convert to work in 64bit, since it already has all the required libraries.

Never mind. I found workarounds for my needs: ffmpeg to compress images, scrot to take screenshots.
With the appropriate flags, these two are drop-in replacements for convert and import.
I love ffmpeg. There seems it can handle just about anything when it comes to media files ;D
scrot and its dependency I had to cook up on my own. I'll package it properly for the x86_64 repository sometime in the next few days.

I found an additional workaround: The latest gcc-x86_64 AppImage available here (https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick/releases) works perfectly on Pure64 10.1

Thank you, that was very useful!

PS: the problem is still there with imagemagick.tcz from corepure 10.1, no other workarounds worked for me.
-
The *.la files are needed in the convert directory for things to work - I should have realised this as libltdl is a dep.
Updated imagemagick posted.

Sounds good, thanks!
