Ansel actually doesn't use Horde_Form_Type_image. That form type is  
really only needed when you want to display the image in the same  
form/view you use to upload it.

Turba, on the other hand, does use it to deal with the contact photo  
field. Look in Turba_Form_AddContact for more info, but basically you  
would do something like this while handling form submission in your  
Sesha_Form_* class (off the top of my head so it might not be 100%  
correct):

<code>
$this->getInfo($this->_vars, $info);
foreach ($info['object'] as $val) {
   // Need to add some conditionals to make sure this is an image field etc...
   // $val['info']['file] will contain the local path to the uploaded image.
   // $val['info']['type'] should contain the mime type
}
</code>
