Rails 4 after_initialize Only on Edit method

Right now I have the following code utilizing a callback. How can I conditionally restrict this to occur on the edit form? Currently it works on the edit form, but is also messing up calculations on other portions of my application.

customer.rb

after_initialize :convert_commission_percentage   

def convert_commission_percentage
  self.commission_percentage= commission_percentage.to_f/100.to_f
end

You could check for persisted?:

after_initialize :convert_commission_percentage   

def convert_commission_percentage
  self.commission_percentage= commission_percentage.to_f/100.to_f if persisted?
end

Or as @willmanduffy recommends: 

after_initialize :convert_commission_percentage, if: :persisted?   

def convert_commission_percentage
  self.commission_percentage= commission_percentage.to_f/100.to_f
end
