How can one optimize memory usage when processing a large number of images in PHP using the Imagick extension?

When processing a large number of images in PHP using the Imagick extension, memory usage can become a concern. One way to optimize memory usage is to free up memory after each image has been processed by clearing the Imagick object. 

// Example code to optimize memory usage when processing a large number of images using Imagick extension

$images = ['image1.jpg', 'image2.jpg', 'image3.jpg'];

foreach ($images as $image) {
    $imagick = new Imagick($image);
    
    // Process the image
    
    // Free up memory by clearing the Imagick object
    $imagick->clear();
    $imagick->destroy();
}
