I like imagemagick a lot but I have been lazy and never really gotten to master it. I use it nearly everyday in its simplest form. I was playing with the tutorials at http://www.cit.gu.edu.au/~anthony/graphics/imagick6/montage/ and found the following tricks useful:

1)  convert 'vid:*.jpg' VID_INDEX.html  which generates a nice clickable matrix and html file. such as here.

2)  montage -label '%f\n%wx%h' -size 256x256 '*.jpg[120x190]' -strip  -tile 5x -frame 5 -shadow -geometry 120x90+5+5 INDEX.html  which generates a similar thing using different tools such as here.

3)  And what I will post in a minute using montage -adjoin -geometry '+2+2' -tile 4x1 'dsc*.jpg[20%x20%]' sil.jpg

perlTeX

I had noticed perlTeX before but it did not occur to me how powerful it may be. I suggest it to everyone interested in automatizing their document generation, from http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/perltex/

" PerlTeX is a combination Perl script (perltex.pl) and LaTeX2e style file (perltex.sty) that, together, give the user the ability to define LaTeX macros in terms of Perl code. Once defined, a Perl macro becomes indistinguishable from any other LaTeX macro. PerlTeX thereby combines LaTeX's typesetting power with Perl's programmability."
