The info on that site that IM is somewhat better is likely outdated in terms of image-processing quality, and the fact that IM supports so many file-formats might not be relevant? I am surprised GD is not “just there” in you MAMP-install - have you looked? It came with both of mine installs. The advantage of that would be that no configuration/download etc is required at all (I bet the download functionality is a MAMP-pro function ;-)) I wonder how similar the APIs are, many CMSes just support either...
