So, I need to go from a PIL 'img' out to this magical object: > > You need this class > from django.core.files.base import ContentFile > > And this: > try: > from cStringIO import StringIO > except ImportError: > from StringIO import StringIO > > In the code, insert: > > #Make a thing to hold our data > o = StringIO() > > #convert the image to a binary file-like memory object > img.save(o,'PNG') > > # We NEED this object because it has 'chunks' > content = ContentFile(o.getvalue()) Instead of instantiating a new object, have you tried writing back to the original "content" file object that was passed in as a parameter to save? It's got a write method: content.write(o.getvalue()) super(CustomImageStorage,self).save(name, content) That might avoid causing new problems...
