Worked example
Section titled “Worked example”Load an 80 × 60 test image with Name image1. Select image1 in a Resize or effect step, then Save Image to a new test filename. Inspect the saved result.
Check the result
Section titled “Check the result”The named processing instance exists within this request. Loading does not save a new file. The image must be readable by the server and supported by its Sharp or PHP image backend.
Load, transform and save
Section titled “Load, transform and save”Image Processor operations run on the server. For transformations, use a named Load Image, apply the intended operations to that instance, and Save it to a deliberate path. A page image component will not automatically update just because an in-memory server instance changed. Return or persist the saved path and update the page’s source as needed.
Check your result
Section titled “Check your result”You can configure the selected image operation and inspect a saved result for the intended dimensions or visual effect.
