Have you tried ImageMagick?

Answer 2

GD is only one library for image processing. PHP also has other library extensions:

• ImageMagick a native php extension to create and modify images using the ImageMagick API.
• Gmagick a php extension to create, modify and obtain meta information of images using the GraphicsMagick API.
• Cairo a native PHP extension to create and modify graphics using the Cairo Graphics Library.
• Exif With the exif extension you are able to work with image meta data.

You can use a wrapper library like wideimage, which simplifies the interface to GD.
