The image converter service of the server needs the program convert from ImageMagick. On a Linux and Solaris system, you have to use the convert of your distribution. If there is no convert installed, or if you are using Windows you can download the respective program at http://www.imagemagick.org. You have to enter the path to the installed convert in the property convertCommand in the file properties/corem/imageconverter.properties. You can find a description of the other image converter properties in the description of the AggregatingImageBlobEditor in the Site Manager Developer Manual.
