Want to manipulate an image at its source (You won't have to write it out because the transformations are done on that file)
image = MiniMagick::Image.new("input.jpg")
image.resize "100x100"
+Want to get some meta-information out?
+
+image = MiniMagick::Image.from_file("input.jpg")
+image[:width] # will get the width (you can also use :height and :format)
+image["EXIF:BitsPerSample"] # It also can get all the EXIF tags
+image["%m:%f %wx%h"] # Or you can use one of the many options of the format command found here http://www.imagemagick.org/script/command-line-options.php#format

How To Install
--------------
-(I've only tested this on OS X and Linux)
+If you downloaded the plugin version, just drop the plugin into RAILS_ROOT/plugins/
-I've packaged up MiniMagick as a rails plugin. Just unzip the file to the /vendor/plugins directory of your rails folder and you have access to all the magick.
+If you installed this as a gem, then to get it to work add <require "mini_magick"> to RAILS_ROOT/config/environment.rb
+
+If you have just downloaded this files then copy the mini_magick.rb file into your RAILS_ROOT/lib directory and add <require "mini-magick"> to RAILS_ROOT/config/environment.rb
MiniMagick does NOT require rails though. All the code you need to use MiniMagick is located in the mini_magick/lib/mini_magick.rb file.
