I must be missing something obvious but critical; I can change the base (via the template) or intercept the call (via Regex('img')) and alter the path there. 

But I cannot work out what the path _should_ be, or alternatively (additionally?), how to persuade Catalyst to process the image path and return the image to the browser.
