When using the imageCr3 tag you want to call the image path and filename in the database. The imageCr3 tag will automatically store a cached version of the image in a directory you specify (I use d:\cacheimages and add it as a virtual directory to my websites that use the tag) and will only pull, resize, and cache the orginal if there is no cached image in the "cachimages" directory.
As far as updates and deletes, all you will want to do is update and delete the database record and use the cffile delete action on the original image to delete it. As far as I know there is no delete function for the cached image. It can be done programatically, but I am going to suggest to Efflare that they ought to automatically delete cached files not in use after x days. I don't know how they would do that, but perhaps there is a way.
