Fix: use project logger to prevent duplicate logs in images utility

[Samanvitha275]

Problem:

The images utility initialized its own logger instead of using the project's centralized logging configuration.
This resulted in duplicate log outputs when the module was imported multiple times.

Root Cause:

logging.getLogger(__name__) was used alongside the project's get_logger, causing multiple handlers to attach to the same module logger.

Solution:

Removed the redundant logger initialization and used the project's logging setup consistently.

Impact:

• Eliminates duplicate log entries
• Keeps logging behavior consistent across modules
• No functional behavior changed

Verification:

Ran the module after modification — logs now appear only once and all features work as before.

Fixes #815

Walkthrough

A redundant logger initialization was removed from the images utility module. The duplicate logging.getLogger(__name__) declaration was deleted, preserving the existing custom logger configured via get_logger(__name__).

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Duplicate Logger Cleanup backend/app/utils/images.py	Removed redundant logger initialization, keeping only the custom get_logger() setup to maintain consistent logging configuration across the module.

Linked Issues check	⚠️ Warning	The PR partially addresses issue #815 by removing the duplicate logger on line 29, but does not remove the unused logging module import as required.	Remove the unused 'import logging' statement from backend/app/utils/images.py to fully comply with issue #815 requirements.
