Answer 1

Remove the quote from 'some_pic.jpg' and then try to execute the command. It should run fine.

Answer 2

Manually installing imagemagick-6.9.3-10 via brew has fixed the problem. So I believe it's a bug in imagemagick.

PS: To install specific version via brew, run

brew edit imagemagick

And edit these lines:

url "https://dl.bintray.com/homebrew/mirror/imagemagick-6.9.4-7.tar.xz"
mirror "https://www.imagemagick.org/download/ImageMagick-6.9.4-7.tar.xz"

May not work if the version you choose (https://dl.bintray.com/homebrew/mirror/) is not compatible with the rest of the brew formula. Then you need to go deeper.
