create a file called picture.html in there. Here is an example
picture.html template:
{% load i18n thumbnail %}
{% spaceless %}
{% if picture.url %}<a href="{{ picture.url }}">{% endif %}
{% ifequal placeholder "content" %}
<img src="{% thumbnail picture.image.name 484x1500 upscale %}" {% if picture.alt %}alt="{{ picture.alt }}" {% endif %}/>
{% endifequal %}
{% ifequal placeholder "teaser" %}
<img src="{% thumbnail picture.image.name 484x1500 upscale %}" {% if picture.alt %}alt="{{ picture.alt }}" {% endif %}/>
{% endifequal %}
{% if picture.url %}</a>{% endif %}
{% endspaceless %}In this template the picture is scaled differently based on which placeholder it was placed in.
