Well, checking deeper, it seems to use mini_magick by default
and only optionally uses rmagick.

This page:

  https://github.com/espen/balder

says:

- ImageMagicK. Carrierwave can use either RMagicK or MiniMagicK (default).
To change resize option the correct gem must be used (specified in Gemfile)
and change included setting for Carrierwave in file_uploader.rb
Can be installed from: http://www.imagemagick.org

Looking into that file:

  # Include RMagick or ImageScience support
  #     include CarrierWave::RMagick
  #     include CarrierWave::ImageScience
       include CarrierWave::MiniMagick

Did you change these default settings?

Looking into the Gemfile:

  https://github.com/espen/balder/blob/master/Gemfile

...
# -- Photo resizing
# MiniMagick
gem "mini_magick"

# ImageMagick:
#gem "rmagick", :require => 'RMagick'

# FreeImage:
#gem "RubyInline"
#gem "image_science", :git => 'git://github.com/perezd/image_science.git'

So, probably, if you want to activate rmagick for CarrierWave, you should
uncomment
the line with "rmagick" and rerun `bundle install` after that.

But, I would first check why the upload functionality does not work with the
default mini_magick that _is_ most probably installed.

But then again ... this file
resources/DummyHTML/css/joshuaclayton-blueprint-css-05312a805eca539ab85e435cfd94bdedfd12ab2e/lib/blueprint/grid_builder.rb
also tries to require 'rmagick' and install the gem 'rmagick'...

HTH,

Peter
