It requires some work to convert between QImage and the ImageMagick (I'd recommend the C++ API, http://www.imagemagick.org/Magick++/) http://www.imagemagick.org/Magick++/Image.html, but it is doable (I remember though that I went the "cheap" but reliable way to store the QImage in-memory as PNG, and read it from memory as PNG into the Magick++ Image - but it should be doable by reading the "raw" memory from QImage and put it into the Image, but then you have to take care about memory alignment, colour depth etc.)

Thanks for suggestion, but I don't want to dig-in outside from Qt 
because I suffered a lot when I did before. If you read your suggestion 
you can find that conversion process is very hard & tricky.
