Using GD instead of Imagemagick

[Muttster]

I am looking to set up my first site, and my host does not have imagemagick installed.  GD 2.0 is installed.  I have looked in the docs and in the forums on what it takes to use GD.  All I can find is how to set the path for imagemagick.  Is detected automatically and defaults to GD if nothing else is selected?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
