Intervention\Image\Exception\NotSupportedException Encoding format (tmp) is not supported

Question

I am using the Intervention package with Laravel 5.6, the issue I am getting whenever I am uploading a file I have been presented with the error Encoding format(tmp) is not supported. I have my gdd2 extension enabled also. This is the code where I have used.

public function store(Request $request)
    {
        $this->validate($request , [
            'name'          => 'required|unique:categories',
            'description'   =>  'max:355',
            'image'         =>  'required|image|mimes:jpeg,bmp,png,jpg'
        ]);

        // Get Form Image
        $image = $request->file('image');
        $slug = str_slug($request->name);
        if (isset($image))
        {
            $currentDate = Carbon::now()->toDateString();
            $imageName = $slug.'-'.$currentDate.'-'.uniqid().'.'.$image->getClientOriginalExtension();
            // Check if Category Dir exists
            if (!Storage::disk('public')->exists('category'))
            {
                Storage::disk('public')->makeDirectory('category');
            }
            // Resize image for category and upload
            $categoryImage = Image::make($image)->resize(1600,479)->save();
            Storage::disk('public')->put('category/'.$imageName, $categoryImage);

            // Check if Category Slider Dir exists
            if (!Storage::disk('public')->exists('category/slider'))
            {
                Storage::disk('public')->makeDirectory('category/slider');
            }

            // Resize image for category slider and upload
            $categorySlider = Image::make($image)->resize(500,333)->save();
            Storage::disk('public')->put('category/slider/'.$imageName, $categorySlider);

        }
        else
        {
            $imageName = 'default.png';
        }

        $category = new Category();
        $category->name = $request->name;
        $category->slug = $slug;
        $category->description = $request->description;
        $category->image = $imageName;

        $category->save();
        Toastr::success('Category Saved Successfully','Success');
        return redirect()->route('admin.category.index');
    }

You don't need to use the save() function on the Intervention\Image class as you are saving the file to your public disc via the Storage Facade.

Simply replace the line

$categoryImage = Image::make($image)->resize(1600,479)->save();

with

$categoryImage = Image::make($image)->resize(1600,479)->stream();

to avoid having to store the image to the temp folder under a .tmp extension. Laravel Storage Facade will handle the stream created by Intervention\Image and store the file to the public disk.
