Answer 1

I suggest you use the package intervention/image, it goes well with Laravel.

After installing it, here is an example of loading and saving an image and creating a sketch from it.

$image = Image::make(Input::file('photo')->getRealPath());
$image->save(public_path('photos/'. $id .'.jpg'));
$image->fit(300, 200)->save(public_path('photos/'. $id .'-thumbs.jpg'));
