ruby on rails - Need assistance choosing a image management gem -
i interested in building rails based system handling display , organization of large amounts of photos. sort of flickr smaller. each photo have metadata associated it. photos shown in selectable list , grid view. nice able load images needed (as speed things up).
at moment have test version of database working images loading assets/images directory beginning run slow when displaying several images (200-600 images). due way have view setup. using straight loop display images in both list , grid layouts.
i manually resized thumbnails , medium sized image full sized source image. investigating other resizing methods. advice appreciated here well.

i'd go carrierwave
anyday. flexible , has lot of useful strategies. generates it's on uploader class , has nifty , self explanatory features such automatic generation of thumbnails (as specified you), blacklisting, formatting image, size constraints etc; can put use.
