I use the Inflator from HTML-FormFu-Imager to turn picture uploads into Imager objects. This won't fix your problem of storing the file with DBIC. Rather than having the form field correspond to a DBIC row, I typically name my field after a method on the source class that accepts an Imager object, and saves it to disk. Take note: I think the Imager inflator completely overwrites the FormFu upload object, so you'll lose the uploaded filename. If you're wanting to keep that, I think you'd need to forget about the inflator, and just write a method in your source class that knows what to do with the uploaded file.
