Using Processing while Tethering {SOLVED}

Thank you all for your replies,

I have been going over your suggestions this morning, still researching, but perhaps its best to state my use case.

I have a python script that detects when a new file is put into a folder and sends it SFTP to a server. Before it is sent to a server I would like to adjust Shadows, Highlight, Contrast and Saturation.

I guess a ‘picturebox’ would describe what im attempting.
