Ah yes, I'd played with parenthesis earlier but with no success - and
that works perfectly on the command line. Thanks go to all 3 people
that pointed that out :)

But not in the context of PHP and Drupal - after some digging I found
out that it's in effect passing IM5 style command line syntax to
convert, with both input and output filenames *after* the options and
operators. I take it that parenthesis requires IM6 style command line
syntax...

So it's time to work on the PHP etc :)

Thanks, it seemed that way from reading the docs but I was having a
crisis of confidence :)

Thanks for your help.
