Requires ImageMagick 6 installed. May behave differently than ImageMagick 7 version. Primarily exists for compatibility during transition periods.

The .im6 suffix was added when ImageMagick 7 introduced breaking changes from version 6. This naming convention allows both versions to coexist, with im6 explicitly invoking the legacy version.
