This blog post explains it clearly. Just make sure you try keeping the @receiver.. code in forms.py or models.py as I got cannot import model/view errors .

keep the rotate_image method in models.py & @receiver.. code also in models.py.

I also got errors like No such directory. Just make sure full_path is set correctly to media folder.

I used this line

fullpath = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(BASE_DIR)) + instance.fimage.url
