Use "Intervention Image" for image processing [5.3.0-B1]

Use "Intervention Image" for image processing [5.3.0-B1]

Owned by Alex

I've recently stumbled upon "Intervention Image" library (https://github.com/Intervention/image) library, which provides nice API for image handling and abstracts away actually used library (e.g. ImageMagick and GD). Once connected it would actually allow to use "Always use ImageMagick to resize images" system setting, that is scheduled for removal in Remove "Always use ImageMagick to resize images" setting [5.3.0-B1].

The side effects are:

  • the ImageMagick PHP extension is required and therefore ImageMagick binary can't be used, which maybe works faster
  • minimum PHP version required is PHP 5.4, but In-Portal currently requires PHP 5.3 minimum
