Photoshop-like scripting framework

I'm looking for a tool, library of framework (preferrably for Java) that allows me to render raster graphics in a layered fashion. Basically, a programmable Photoshop-like API with support for layers, filling areas, transparency, blur/noise filters, drop shadows, inner shadows, etc. It doesn't have to have all of photoshop's features of course.

Does such a framework exist? I can live with it being a command-line tool too, for instance.

The first think that comes to mind is ImageMagick for which there's also a Java API, JMagick. Not sure if it can do all you want.

It might be a stretch but you could, in theory, script the graphics engine that Gimp uses.

It's probably way overkill and I'm sure there are other, better, libraries and ways to do it, but it's the first thing that jumped into my head. On the up-side, it's nearly as powerful as Photoshop and can do tons of things with raster images.
