Hi all

   - I have lots of JPEG images in an Amazon S3 bucket.
   - I have a Rails app running on Heroku, which knows the filenames of the 
   images.
   - The rails app is not responsible for uploading the files to S3. In 
   fact, it's the other way round: the file is POSTed to S3, which then 
   informs the Rails app of the file name via a success_action_redirect as 
   per http://aws.amazon.com/articles/1434/

*The Rails app requires greyscale, thumbnail copies of the images.* So I'm 
thinking about writing a rake task within the Rails app to produce the 
copies.

My questions are:

   1. Is Imagemagick available and supported on Heroku?
   2. If so, is there any documentation on how to use Imagemagick on Heroku?
   3. If so, do I have to pull down the file from S3 to a tmp directory, 
   make the copy then upload back to S3?
   4. 
   
   If so, would I incur Amazon S3 data transfer fees?
   
   or...
   5. 
   
   Is there a better way? :)
   
Thanks!
