When to put code in Controller and when in Model

1. Photo upload and validation should be done in Controller and the Model should only handle final database interaction.
   What if I want to reuse photo validation and move in another controller? Where do I put it?
   

You can move the logic to:
- a library class
- parent controller class
- a trait
