CarrierWave and resize to a specific width

Question

Using CarrierWave in Rails 3.0 how would you go about making the code resize images that have a width larger than 500 pixels to be 500 pixels wide and adjust the height appropriately - keeping the same initial ratio of width to height.

Answer 1

You Can use:

process :resize_to_limit => [500, nil] 

Answer 2

process :resize_to_limit => [500, 0] 

This will process the image to be no wider than 500px while retaining the proper aspect ratio and allowing any height.
