The first thing you should realize is this: if you want to display it on your website, it can be stolen/copied/whatever. There are very few (if any...) exceptions to that.

For example, what would stop someone from simply right-clicking on the image and choosing Save As to download it?

If i click this link which Should be encoded!

http://website.com/imageprocessor.php?src=images/blue.jpg&w=300&q=100&m=watermark.png

(Should look more like this as a link)

http://website.com/imageprocessor.php?src=8U38IHDSF9JFKDSJF

I want it so the Source of where the images can not be found.

now when they right click this Image Its going to be Watermarked with a different script.

so am allowing them to save it with water mark.

I just don't want to let them know where i am keeping the Raw Content.

i can advance on this after you answer

dagon

so have imageprocessor.php take the src value and serve the appropriate file

If that's true, then you should be storing the files in a directory above the root of your website, so they can't possibly access the file directly but only through your image processing script. That way, it doesn't matter what they know about the original filename, since they can't access it anyway.
