ImageMagic is a very powerful library but marred with poor documentation and security issues. Sadly, I have not come across any alternative which has as many features as ImageMagic. Python has pillow but I have not quite fully explored it, in machine learning projects people use it for quick cropping or transformations.
Yeah, it's curious that there doesn't appear to be anything occupying the same niche really - especially given how popular ImageMagick actually is: I know it's a dependency in an unfathomable number of projects. The only 'alternative' I'm really aware of is GraphicsMagick - which is actually a fork of ImageMagick in the first place! http://www.graphicsmagick.org/
