Hi,
yes you can disable image for profile and create delimter (text or html) to show field as you like.
example:
I have picture1 field, hidden in profile page.
I create a delimeter with this description, visible on profile and hidden on edit profile :
<a href="{user picture1 displayed raw}" target="_blank">{user picture1_mini displayed}</a>
In this example you can view thumb of picture and when click on image you go on new page with picture. (you can customize the code to get lightbox or a simple popup).

with {user picture1 displayed raw} I get the path of image
with {user picture1_mini displayed} I get image thumb (every image field have a thumb, with _mini at the end of alias)
