How can external libraries or classes be integrated into PHP scripts for advanced image manipulation tasks, and what considerations should be taken into account when doing so?

To integrate external libraries or classes for advanced image manipulation tasks in PHP scripts, you can use Composer to manage dependencies and autoload classes. Make sure to carefully review the documentation of the library you're integrating to understand how to use it properly. Additionally, consider the performance implications of adding external dependencies and ensure that the library is secure and actively maintained. 

// Require Composer's autoloader to load external libraries
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

// Example of using an external library for image manipulation
use Intervention\Image\ImageManagerStatic as Image;

// Load an image file
$img = Image::make('path/to/image.jpg');

// Perform image manipulation tasks
$img->resize(300, 200)->save('path/to/modified_image.jpg');
