Image source not readable in Laravel 5.2 - Intervention Image

Question

I have a small problem concerning the resizing process of a given image, I am trying to submit a form containing an input type -->file<-- I was able to upload a picture without resizing it, after that I decided to resize that image so I installed the Intervention Image Library using:

composer require intervention/image

then I integrated the library into my Laravel framework

Intervention\Image\ImageServiceProvider::class
'Image' => Intervention\Image\Facades\Image::class

and finally I configured it like following

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Intervention\Image\ImageServiceProviderLaravel5"

my controller is like the following

<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Input;
use Image; 

class ProjectController extends Controller{

public function project(Request $request){  


    $file = Input::file('file');
    $fileName = time().'-'.$file->getClientOriginalName();

    $file -> move('uploads', $fileName);
    $img=Image::make('public/uploads/', $file->getRealPath())->resize(320, 240)->save('public/uploads/',$file->getClientOriginalName());

}
}

but instead of resizing the pic the following exception is throwed

NotReadableException in AbstractDecoder.php line 302:
Image source not readable

Shouldn't it be Image::make($file->getRealPath()) instead of Image::make('public/uploads/', $file->getRealPath())?

Image::make() doesn't seem to take two arguments, so that could be your problem.

Try this:

$file = Input::file('file');
$fileName = time() . '-' . $file->getClientOriginalName();

$file->move('uploads', $fileName);

$img = Image::make($file->getRealPath())
    ->resize(320, 240)
    ->save('public/uploads/', $file->getClientOriginalName());

Or if you want to do it without moving the file first, try this:

$file = Input::file('file');
$img = Image::make($file)
    ->resize(320, 240)
    ->save('public/uploads/', $file->getClientOriginalName());
