Command (GetRealPath) is not available for driver (Gd)

Question

I am trying to create a watermarked version of an uploaded image and store both of them to the storage folder using laravel 5.6 and Intervention.

    //creat         


        

Answer 1

I eventually found a fix, instead of using store or putfileas I used put:

Storage::put('public/watermarked/' . $fileName . $extension, $watermarkedImage->encode());

The edited image now saves properly, answer found here: Laracasts
