Hi,

it's about RMagick with Ruby On Rails.

I do the following:

  image = params[:image]
  # params[:image] is the image from the file-form.
  name = image.original_filename.scan(/[^\/\\]+/).last
  name = dir + t.day.to_s + t.month.to_s + t.year.to_s + t.hour.to_s + t.min.to_s + t.sec.to_s + name
  f = File.new(name, "wb")
  f.write image
  f.close
  image = Magick::Image.read(name)
  image = image.resize_to_fit(200, 250)
  f = File.new(name, "wb")
  f.write image.to_blob
  f.close

Do I really need to first save and then change it? And how about changing not only the size, changing also the Filetype? I want a JPG with 60% quality.

Please help me.

Yours, Joern.
