If the image itself shows, then the transfer method is unlikely to be faulty.

ImageMagick is indeed a bear to install.  One discovers in the process
that  libtiff, libjpeg, the PNG library, netpbm, ghostscript, need to be
installed first.  Then there's the matter of working around configure's
ingorance of the -R linker switch so that its feature-test programs can
execute, and the fact that for no apparent reason it invokes gcc with
-shared instead of -G.
