Oh, yes, it was! :-) There used to be a command in /usr/bin named
imagemagick and if you launched it, it brought up an interface with
menus/buttons that you could click on. Granted, I haven't used it in
quite a while. However, I used to use it all the time to scale
graphics when I was writing the handbook for krecipes and convert
images from jpeg to png.

I searched for that command, I can't find it or any reference to it
having any GUI at all. According to the wiki:
"The software mainly consists of a number of command-line interface
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command-line_interface> utilities for
manipulating images. ImageMagick does *not* have a GUI
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphical_user_interface>-based interface
to edit images, as do Adobe Photoshop
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Photoshop> and GIMP
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIMP>, but instead modifies existing
images as directed by various command-line parameters. "
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ImageMagick
I also can't find anything on their website about a GUI either. There
are front ends to it tho. This from the imagemagick website:
"The functionality of ImageMagick is typically utilized from the command
line or you can use the features from programs written in your favorite
language. Choose from these interfaces: G2F

I'm not sure if any of those are GUI tho.
Maybe whatever distro you were using sort of played a name game with the
command? The command was named imagemagick but was actually pointing to
something else that had a GUI and was a front end for it.
Krecipe huh? Installing it now. I like to cook and eat. lol
