possible to validate against transformed image size?

[ilovett]

Hey! Great work on this project!

Is it possible to run the transform plugin first and show THAT filesize and validate against THAT?

Consider someone using an iPhone who takes a picture > 5MB (or > 7MB or 9MB in the future)

It would be great to have the picture already transformed when it gets validated for a max file size of say 3MB.

As transforming the files on the client gives you some control over the output size, I would simply not validate the size. Would that work in your situation?

To give a bit of insight, transforming the file on the client is quite taxing on the CPU so currently the clientside transform is only done right before uploading the file.
