  * PHP 5.4.45-0+deb7u1

  Your [ImageMagick library](http://www.imagemagick.org/script/changelog.php) version is 3.5 years old. I'd start by updating that to something newer.
  
  You didn't list the PHP Imagick extension version, but I'd bet it's out of date as well. [3.1.2](https://pecl.php.net/package/imagick) is the latest stable release.
  
  Also, Craft will automatically try and detect if Imagick is installed and available via PHP, but it won't hurt to explicitly set the [imageDriver](http://buildwithcraft.com/docs/config-settings#imageDriver) config setting to `imagick` to be sure.
