# Use of ImageMagick Engine possible?

 * Hello,
 * `first of all thanks for the great plug-in. I really like how it has developed
   over the past months, both in function and design!`
 * Problem: I am using the plug-in “ImageMagick Engine” [wordpress.org/plugins/imagemagick-engine/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/imagemagick-engine/)
   to generate my thumbnails, because that way all EXIF data like copyright etc.
   from the original image is preserved in the thumbnails (which I am sure is important
   for many people) and also I have more control about compression for different
   sizes.
 * Your plug-in seems to override the WP behaviour set by the above plug-in and 
   reverts back to GDlib. Is there any way that you could include support for ImageMagick?

 * Hi Pat,
    glad you like the changes – it was about time to refresh it.
 * About your problem: i only uses the default wordpress functions. So wordpress
   chooses the correct image-engine. Also, there where no change in the way how 
   i use the wordpress-functions since a year or longer.
 * Did you test with the quick-check tool on the plugins settings screen? It will
   output what library is used by the plugin.
