Oh yes. I meant that the result is of lower quality with no special 
options and the free edition. I don't know PIL's API capabilities, 
and I've never used the professionnal version. If you save a jpeg 
image at (for example) 75% quality in ImageMagick, and 75% in PIL, 
the PIL one is bad. 

Ron Bickers has put a page on which one can compare PIL with 
ImageMagick at http://www.bickersfamily.org/Photos/PILvsIM 

It seems that PIL supports an antialising mode which produces
better results.
