If i cast a project image and no one notices me(the caster,not the image) and the image gets noticed by the enemies that its an illusion,then if i cast a fireball through the project image,will the enemies still be damaged?
And second question about the scenario above,if i am invisible through the invisibility spell -not the greater version- ,and the image casts fireball,will I still be invisible?

Saving Throw Will disbelief (if interacted with); Spell Resistance noYou tap energy from the Plane of Shadow to create a quasi-real, illusory version of yourself. The projected image looks, sounds, and smells like you but is intangible. The projected image mimics your actions (including speech) unless you direct it to act differently (which is a move action).
You can see through its eyes and hear through its ears as if you were standing where it is, and during your turn you can switch from using its senses to using your own, or back again, as a free action. While you are using its senses, your body is considered blinded and deafened.
If you desire, any spell you cast whose range is touch or greater can originate from the projected image instead of from you. The projected image can't cast any spells on itself except for illusion spells. The spells affect other targets normally, despite originating from the projected image.
Objects are affected by the projected image as if they had succeeded on their Will save. You must maintain line of effect to the projected image at all times. If your line of effect is obstructed, the spell ends. If you use dimension door, teleport, plane shift, or a similar spell that breaks your line of effect, even momentarily, the spell ends.
Seems to me that you cast through the image. The spell is still real.
Therefore I would rule that the spell affects enemies who realize the image is an illusion, and that you lose invisibility.
Rather than use invisibility why not just hide somewhere that's difficult for the enemies to reach or see you?
Line of Effect: A line of effect is a straight, unblocked path that indicates what a spell can affect. A line of effect is canceled by a solid barrier. It's like line of sight for ranged weapons, except that it's not blocked by fog, darkness, and other factors that limit normal sight.You must have a clear line of effect to any target that you cast a spell on or to any space in which you wish to create an effect. You must have a clear line of effect to the point of origin of any spell you cast.
A burst, cone, cylinder, or emanation spell affects only an area, creature, or object to which it has line of effect from its origin (a spherical burst's center point, a cone-shaped burst's starting point, a cylinder's circle, or an emanation's point of origin).
An otherwise solid barrier with a hole of at least 1 square foot through it does not block a spell's line of effect. Such an opening means that the 5-foot length of wall containing the hole is no longer considered a barrier for purposes of a spell's line of effect.

Thx for your answer,i think that i would rule it in the same way you stated.Now,if i have a pseudodragon lying on my shoulders the project image will appear with the pseudodragon as well?Or if i have blood on my robes,there will be blood on the projected image?I mean,on going appearance effects through the course of a battle affect the image as well?
For example we have a very long battle with another wizard,i hide myself and cast project image,so i can bait him to cast his spells on the image.Will he be able to see dirt,blood or the pseudodragon?
