How to modify uploaded image via plugin

[J Daniels]

I'm new to django, and I'm having difficulty understanding the process when a user uploads an image through a plugin. I want to be able to modify that image before it is saved to the db, but I'm unsure how to do that. The documentation suggests using file handlers, but they appear to be used in the views.py file displaying the upload page and I'm unsure how to either access that py file or how to extend it. Does any one have any suggestions?

Do you mean like adding a permanent watermark to an image as it is uploaded?  A quick Google for "Django add watermark to uploaded images" netted several great projects (Django-watermark among others), articles (several from stack overflow), and plenty of other rabbits to chase.  Depending on the specifics of your needs, these can easily be used as examples of methods or even a drop-in solution in some cases.
