I think what he's asking is if you can do your processing in the cfm that you want but instead of serving up the images using <cfcontent>, do a <cflocation> to an image. That wouldn't "hide" the url of the image and I'm not 100% sure how it would all work, but it seems like it may do the trick. Not sure of performance gains/losses, but it's a neat idea if it would work.

CFLOCATION to where? CFLOCATION does a client-side redirect via headers (similar to a meta redirect). CFCONTENT sets the mime type of the content stream that gets returned to the browser (hence making a CFM template look like a JPG or a PDF). Perhaps I'm missing something obvious, but I don't see how their functionality could be analagous. Maybe a bit more explanation?
