Making things DRY. Some feedback please.

To backup what nmweb is saying.

An image is data, wether it comes as BLOB from a table or from a file or created dynamically, it is merely a binary (or hex) representation of something physical. It's not until we add appropriate headers to it that it becomes a view.

That being the case a model would be the logical MVC choice to manage image data.

The controller should not be given this job ever.

Using a library is merely shifting the job to an object that does the job of a model. (differemt name same job).
