I'm guessing that whatever @params['image_file'] is doesn't have a read method.
If it's just a filename, for instance, you have to open it and call read
on the File object, e.g.

File.open("#{RAILS_ROOT}/public/images/#{@user}.jpg", "wb") do 
  |f|
  f.write(File.open(@params['image_file']).read)
end
