Hi,
it is so, because the ImageProcessing calls an other package
for the data import and ImageRead[] is implemented in
the ImageProcessing`ImageData` package and it stand in this context.
So if you "to know where each function is comming from" you
have to *know* where thie function come from.

Regards
  Jens
