POSIX sh using a while loop

Reading names from find command.

find . ! -maxdepthpath 1. -prune -type f -name 'image*png' |  
while IFS= read -r f; do
  mv -v "$f" "$(echoprintf '%s\n' "$f" | sed -e 's/^\.\/image//' - )"
done

Reading names from a file

while IFS= read -r f; do 
 mv -vmv "$f" "$(echoprintf "$f"|sed'%s\n' "$f" | sed -e 's/^\.\/image//' - )"; "
done < flist

Both of these approaches assume pathnames have no embedded newlines.
