Not sure if this is the right forum to ask this question but I was hoping
never the less someone might have a suggested solution for me.
I am presently resizing images that are being uploaded to 200x200. Now, no
matter what the ratio (4:3...) or orientation (horizontal or vertical) I am
making it so the image is always resized to a full 200x200. I am doing this
by either cutting off a little off the top and bottom or off the sides.
Here are the parameters I am presently passing to ''convert'' on
the command
line to get a perfect (almost perfect) 200x200 picture.
convert -size 800x800 #{original_file} -thumbnail x400 -resize
''400x<''
-resize 50% -gravity center -crop 200x200+0+0 +repage
#{location_of_users_pictures}/#{self.filename}_200x200.jpg
Two questions I have for you guys and gals:
* can I simplify how I call convert with the same effect?
* how can I use attachment_fu out of the box so it does this for me? (I am
going to want to make another thumbnail of a full 50x50 as well)
Your input is greatly appreciated.
Your Friend,
John
