title: Image uploads with Rails/CarrierWave: How does ImageMagick work once app is deployed?
body: <p>I'm trying to enable image uploads for a model in my Rails app. I'm using the CarrierWave gem, but in order to do any image manipulation like thumbnail resizing I must have Imagemagick installed on the actual computer for use with the Rmagick gem.</p>
  
  <p>Here's the problem: I'm turning this app over to a painter who will log in and upload her own art. This means she won't be in my development environment that has Imagemagick installed. I'm really confused about the role of Imagemagick here - will image manipulation simply not work anymore when the app is deployed, or does it persist somehow?</p>
  
  <p>Feel free to correct me if my understanding of this is completely screwy. Or, is there a better solution available?</p>
