Are you wanting to replace the original image with a thumbnail, or do you want to create another ImageField entry with the thumbnail? I'm doing the second method. Perhaps all you need to know is that the ImageField can be saved using yourmodel.save_yourfieldname_file(), which takes a filename and desired file contents. Be aware that calling this will trigger a re-save of the whole model and so you'll need to put some sort of conditional around it to avoid a recursion.
