I had the same problem. Intell’s solution worked for me.

I added the following to Functions.php.

add_filter( 'wp_image_editors', 'change_graphic_lib' );
function change_graphic_lib($array) {return array( 'WP_Image_Editor_GD', 'WP_Image_Editor_Imagick' );} 

I’ve been developing WordPress sites for quite a few years now. This is best premium theme I’ve found. The Avia Framework is great. Well designed and a pleasure to use.
