Answer 1

Using Laravel 5.8

I had a similar issue when trying to read an image file with Image when this one was saved and loaded with Storage.
Beside all the answers I wasn't sure why it wasn't working.

---

Exception when Image was trying to read the file

Intervention\Image\Exception\NotReadableException : Unable to init from given binary data.

Short answer

Adding ->encode()solved the issue

http://image.intervention.io/api/encode

Scenario

Basically I had a test like this

Storage::fake();

$photo = factory(Photo::class)->create();    
$file = \Image::make(
    UploadedFile::fake()->image($photo->file_name, 300, 300)
);

Storage::disk($photo->disk)
    ->put(
        $photo->fullPath(),
        $file
    );

And in the controller I had something like this

return \Image::make(
    Storage::disk($photo->disk)
        ->get(
            $photo->fullPath()
        )
)->response();

Solution

After investigation I realized that any file created by Image and saved by the Storage had a size of 0 octets. After looking at all the solutions from this post and few hours after, I noticed everyone was using encode() but no one did mention it was that. So I tried and it worked.

Investigating a bit more, Image does, in fact, encode under the hood before saving. https://github.com/Intervention/image/blob/master/src/Intervention/Image/Image.php#L146

So, my solution was to simple doing this

$file = \Image::make(
    \Illuminate\Http\UploadedFile::fake()->image('filename.jpg', 300, 300)
)->encode();

\Storage::put('photos/test.jpg', $file);

testable in Tinker, It will create a black image
