Along this same thread, is there a simple way to "replace" the original
image with the tag?  (or pass it through mogrify before it is even save
at all) when I use makesize=120x80 for example, it creates a
sub-directory 120x80 and places a resized copy there.  However, in my
case, I will never be using these originals (and allowing many people to
upload!) I would like to simple replace the actual file as soon as it is
uploaded, then just use the image tag without resizing from that point
forward.

Thanks!
