How to use Delayed::Job in an after_save callback?

I want to run the method process_images asynchronously after_save with Delayed::Job. However, when I try:

after_save lambda { send_later(:process_images) }

I get a NoMethodError: You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!. (self.send_later(:process_images) work either)

This may work... I do remember using it a while back before switching to Delayed::Job.enqueue instead:

after_save do |image|
  image.send_later(:process_images)
end

You could also try:

after_save :cue_process_images

def cue_process_images
  send_later(:process_images)
end

I'm currently using something similar to the later, using paperclip and it works fine.
