Check whether a Paperclip attachment exists

Don’t simply test for the presence of the magic Paperclip attribute, it will return a paperclip Attachment object and thus always be true:

- if user.photo.present? # always true
  = image_tag(user.photo.url)

Use #photo? instead:

- if user.photo?
  = image_tag(user.photo.url)

user.photo.exists? Always return me 'false', for both the cases.
It is showing me some message as, 'Digest::Digest is deprecated; use Digest', and then giving me 'false'.
