I have a web in development. I need to upload some images and to resize them in a form. I am able to upload some imags thanks to paperclip, but I have problems resizing this images. I am becaming mad trying to make work ImageMagik and Rmagick and I think it will became a lot worse once I find a host a put the web in production. So I wonder if its another way to resize images. I have used other option in a PHP web. It uses a mix of flash and PHP. The flash gives a tool to resize the image exactly like the user wants, and the PHP makes the reak work. I will appreciate any help.
Check out the section "Outsourcing the performance-intensive functions" around the middle of the page.
Pretty sure "convert" is part of image magick.
Hope that helps! Tim
