Hmmm... there's the rub ;-)

If you installed all the tools from ImageMagik, you probably have the
docs also.

On RH distros these are located in
/usr/share/doc/ImageMagick-[IM-version].

The docs are in html (as are increasing numbers of docs) so you may
find it handy to add a bookmark to your browser. Eg.,
file:/usr/share/doc/

The IM site is undergoing a "facelift" of some kind so you might try
here for the doc on "convert":
http://www.imagemagick.org/www/convert.html

Don't forget the "+profile" switch to remove (usually) needless info.
