Also, unless I'm mistaken Gimp uses imagemagick to perform some tasks. That may be a possibility for your needs in batch processing.
I don't think that is true - I'm pretty sure GIMP performs most tasks internally or through plug-ins.
GIMP can be used for batch processing as described here: http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Basic_Batch/
ImageMagick is a separate command-line image processing tool and also very useful in batch processing. There are tons of howtos out there on using ImageMagick. Once I even printed out the output of 'man convert'. Be sure you have plenty of toner/paper before you try that though :)

Even though I like GIMP, it doesn't work with higher quality images and thus isn't that good anymore. I use ImageMagick for anything that needs quality and it is great. A bit of a learning curve but very powerful. For individual images I have started to use CinePaint which will work with HDR images.
Here are some links to get the OP started.
