 * The above can be simplified further.
 *
 * Specifically you can read the 'rose' image directly into the 'red' image
 * wand.  Then process just that rose image, even though it is sharing the
 * same wand as another image.
 *
 * Remember in MagickWand, simple image operators are only applied to the
 * current image in the wand an to no other image!  To apply a simple image
 * operator (like MagickRotateImage()) to all the images in a wand you must
 * iterate over all the images yourself.
