I was looking over some threads and noticed some differnces in what my server is saying for the use of ImageMagick vs some of the others. As shown below mine is saying External ImageMagick 6.9.10-23, is this correct? I have seen some others say just ImageMagick 6.9.10-23 without External? Just not sure what is correct and does mine mean its using an external instance, though I installed it all on my Ubuntu server.

Well not sure if this matters but I did get it to change to just ImageMagick by installing the imagick php extension (php7.4-imagick). From what I can tell everything was working so will see what adding this does, maybe improves performance or something?

External ImageMagick just means the command line ImageMagick is used, without External it's the PHP extension (Imagick) that provides an API around the ImageMagick library. For some repeated mass operations like thumbnail generation the PHP extension may be slightly faster as it doesn't involve exec calls with program startup.

Thank you so much for the explanation and makes total sense. Appreciate your time, Tom.
