The original title is "Laravel 13.20 Image Processing: A Production Guide"

Short summary

Laravel 13.20 ships a first-party Illuminate\Image component and Image facade that wraps Intervention Image v4.0 with GD and Imagick drivers, connecting image transformations to Laravel's filesystem, requests, and container. The guide covers loading from paths, URLs, uploads, and storage; immutable transformation pipelines with methods like cover, contain, scale, and orient; and production boundaries such as not serializing Image objects for queued jobs. Code examples demonstrate validation, branching pipelines, driver selection, and output format control.
