You can set up automatic image processing for the ImageStorage table. To make the magic happen you have to use the ImageStorage table (it extends the FileStorage table) for image file saving.
All you need to do is basically use the image model and configure versions on a per model basis. When you save an ImageStorage table entity it is important to have the 'model' field filled so that the script can find the correct versions for that model.
Configure::write('FileStorage', array(
'imageSizes' => array(
'GalleryImage' => array(
'c50' => array(
'crop' => array(
'width' => 50, 'height' => 50
)
),
't120' => array(
'thumbnail' => array(
'width' => 120, 'height' => 120
)
),
't800' => array(
'thumbnail' => array(
'width' => 800, 'height' => 600
)
)
),
'User' => array(
'c50' => array(
'crop' => array(
'width' => 50, 'height' => 50
)
),
't150' => array(
'crop' => array(
'width' => 150, 'height' => 150)
)
),
)
)
);
\Burzum\FileStorage\Lib\FileStorageUtils::generateHashes();Calling generateHashes() is important, it will create the hash values for each versioned image and store them in Media.imageHashes in the configuration.
If you don't want to have the script to generate the hashes each time it's executed, it is up to you to store it persistent. This plugin just provides you the tools.
Image files will end up wherever you have configured your base path.

The versioned image files will be in the same folder, which is the id of the record, as the original image and have the truncated hash of the version attached but before the extension.

You should symlink your image root folder to APP/webroot/images for example to avoid that images go through php and are send directly instead.
It is possible to totally change the way image versions are created. You'll just have to extend or create new listeners and attach them to the global EventManager.
