No you cannot do that.
Forunately, from the looks of this:

It sounds like what you want to use is called composition (or aggregation),
not inheritance.
So, just create your new image processing cfc, and when you need to use it,
imageProcessorObject = createobject("component", "path.to.imageprocessor").
Then you can call the methods you need to use like so:
imageProcessorObject.callMethod(send_arguments)
Hope that helps.

Sam
