Rails - Jun 2006 - Seek Rails Design Pattern for Photo Manipulation Service

Hello,

I''ve built a powerful image manipulation engine in C++ that I want to 
deploy as a Web-based service for all to use. The idea is straight 
forward: Visit my site, submit a photo, select a visual treatment, press 
go, and receive the resultant photo via email.

See samples here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/theimageengine

While the engine is rock solid, I am struggling a bit with how to 
architect the Rails around it. I suspect this architecture is one that 
has appeared elsewhere and I am wondering if someone could sketch for me 
what it should look like.

Thanks in advance,
Doug Turner

Here is my 10 sec design.  Use file_column to load the file and 
associated atttributes.  Once upload succeeds kick a job on the server 
to do the transofrmation and send the email.
