I made a thing with Ruby; looking for feedback! Xferase is a photo library management daemon for Linux.
Photein uses Minimagick for image management and conversion. Have you had a look at ruby-vips? From what I hear it should be better/faster/use less memory than ImageMagick, especially for the standard image formats.

Best of (Ruby) Gems Series - What's Next? What's Hot?
A special mention to ruby-vips, which is (along with maybe php, I guess) one of the few language bindings maintained by the author of libvips, which should become the defacto image processing manipulation library.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing IMGKit and ruby-vips you can also consider the following projects:
MiniMagick - mini replacement for RMagick
RMagick - Ruby bindings for ImageMagick
Skeptick - Better ImageMagick for Ruby
Phashion - Ruby wrapper around pHash, the perceptual hash library for detecting duplicate multimedia files
PSD.rb - Parse Photoshop files in Ruby with ease
rszr - Fast image resizer for Ruby
Victor - Ruby SVG Image Builder
