 * I have Image Magick installed and Imagick PHP Module installed and the Image 
   Magic Plugin installed. But WordPress still uses WP_Image_Editor_GD.
 * Any idea why or what I can do to force it to use IM?

 * This plugin only hooks in when the images are actually generated. It’s not a 
   custom image editor for WordPress so it’s not visible on the health monitor screen.
 * However, there might be something wrong with your ImageMagick setup as you say
   because WP should use WP_Image_Editor_Imagick when that is available. But might
   be so that ImageMagick Engine is better of finding that so it might be active
   even though you don’t think so.
