I've looked on djagno files on the server and I found models.py

    class MyImage(models.Model):
       model_pic = models.ImageField(upload_to = '', default = 'none/no-img.jpg')

You can override the .save() model method, but your best bet would be to use a mature and stable image processing package such as django-imagekit . It has some great built-in image processors, and even lets you create your own.
