Hello All,

I am using rails paperclip plugin for image upload.  
my image has different styles and the original image gets cropped  
while processing styled image.

I dont want image to be cropped.  
Is there any way ???

Thanks,  
Sandip R~

Do not specify size, so that the original file is uploaded as is.
