The following tips will help you in modifying SEFURL for article image that it becomes easier to understand. Follow the steps below.

1. Open file /tiki-sefurl.php. Insert the script below, exactly before the script if ($type == 'blog' && $prefs['feature_sefurl_title_blog'] == 'y' && empty($with_next)) {:
if ($type == 'article_image' && $prefs['feature_sefurl_title_article'] == 'y' && empty($with_next)) {
global $artlib;
include_once ('lib/articles/artlib.php');
if (preg_match('/image_type=article&id=([0-9]+)/', $tpl_output, $matches)) {
if (empty($title)) $title = $artlib->get_title($matches[1]);
$title = preg_replace(PATTERN_TO_CLEAN_TEXT, CLEAN_CHAR, $tikilib->take_away_accent($title));
$title = preg_replace('/' . CLEAN_CHAR . CLEAN_CHAR . '+/', '-', $title);
$title = preg_replace('/' . CLEAN_CHAR . '+$/', '', $title);
}
}
Save and close file /tiki-sefurl.php.

2. Open file /lib/smarty_tiki/modifier.sefurl.php. Insertthe script below, exactly before the script case 'file':
case 'article_image':
$href = 'article_image.php?image_type=article&id='.$source;
break;
Save and close file /lib/smarty_tiki/modifier.sefurl.php.

3. Open file .htaccess. The default file name when the first time Tiki installed was _htaccess. Therefore, if you find file name _htaccess, rename it with .htaccess. The file location of .htaccess should be in the root or main directory of your web domain (e.g: http://www.example.com).
4. Insert the script RewriteRule ^article_image([0-9]+)\-.*$ article_image$1
   right under the script RewriteRule ^article([0-9]+)\-.*$ article$1
5. Insert the script RewriteRule ^article_image([0-9]+)(.*) article_image.php?image_type=article&id=$1$2 [L]
   right under the script RewriteRule ^article([0-9]+)(.*) tiki-read_article.php?articleId=$1$2 [L].
   Save and close file .htaccess
6. Open phpMyAdmin and your Tiki database, then open table tiki_sefurl_regex_out.
7. Insert one row/record in the last order with the columns/field as follow:
   
1. Left: article_image.php\?image_type=article&Id=(\d+)
2. Right: article_image$1
3. Type:article
4. Feature:feature_articles
5. Leave other fields as they are.
8. Save and close table tiki_sefurl_regex_out.
9. Finish. Your SEFURL for showing article image is ready.
