For photo operations we write the file to disk and then manipulate it. We could store the temporary version in memory and use that for manipulation.

This will help on systems where the software doesn't have permission to write to the temporary directory (i.e. Pagodabox).

The downside is that a PHP script probably has a low memory allocation which might make this more brittle than the existing method.
