Calling "other" ImageMagick commands through Imagick?

Question

Hi,

I'm using the Imagick PHP wrapper for ImageMagick. I've noticed there are some ImageMagick commands that are not available in the Imagick wrapper, such as autolevel and normalize.

How should I go about calling these? Couldn't find anything in Imagick. Are there disadvantages to calling the ImageMagick commands directly through the shell with exec() or shell_exec()?

I recommend using system(). For some reason, exec() doesn't work on my MacBook.
