@MrPunyapal can you test this, and validate it?

@CamKem Genuine question: what are the pros/cons to using spatie/image for our image manipulation needs here? Obviously there's the trade off of adding dependencies (tho, Spatie is amongst the most reliable dependency vendors out there), but curious if you feel it'd be worth it for the functionality and nice api that package provides. I use it for projects, personally.

@tomloprod refactored our optimiser away from intervention/image due to the lack of ability to strip tags & Imagick is really the bare metal that is at the heart of image processing in PHP, so felt it was a good move rather than move to another dependency.

For me the biggest thing, especially with Pinkary is demonstrating what can be done without external deps, so I figured I'd continue in the process & remove the intervention dependency entirely.

Really there is nothing wrong with the Spatie package & if it were client work, I'd probably reach for it, but when I'm working on side projects & open source for fun I'd rather showcase the possibilities & abilities of the underlying technology.

Plus I feel that's been a core tenant of Nuno's direction from the beginning, to keep external deps to an absolute minimum.

@CamKem Gotcha and makes sense. I was interested in spatie/image for this case because, if I'm not mistaken, they don't use intervention/image either. It's mainly a convenience wrapper around Imagick/gd by default.

Totally cool with not loading in the dependency if we don't need all the extra functionality. 👍

That said, it may still be worth a look at the source of spatie/image to get a feel for their api and implementation. I think it's really well done.

Ok. Over and out. 🙂

works well
