As a former PHP programmer who's switched to Django - Trying to modify the administration app can be hard. It's something I still stay away from because I feel once you start adding functionality that doesn't come working out of the box, you're better off building your own admin app. I don't think this is a strike against Django though. It offers a completely optional admin app that you can use to quickly populate some data or not use at all. In fact you could use it solely for uploading your images and then build a completely separate view outside of the admin to handle the jcrop resizing.
Using jcrap in any normal view in Django should be just as easy really as in PHP. Just use PIL/Pillow like someone has already stated. And handling it in the admin really shouldn't be too hard but it'll require learning the ins and outs of how that specific app works.
