Use this validation in model.

validates_format_of :image, :with => %r{\.(png|jpg|jpeg)$}i, :message => "Use a real image"

Please be aware that this would only validate that the filename would end in a specific string.

Use fastimage to get type and size of images by quickly fetching. eg.

FastImage.type("http://stephensykes.com/images/pngimage")

returns .png
