Saving an Intervention Image instance into Amazon S3

Hi,

Im using Intervention Image package to create thumbnails, etc. And I want to save the file into a Amazon S3 bucket.

This gives me an error:

...
$image = Image::make($image)->widen(800);
Storage::disk('s3')->put($path.$file, $image);

fstat() expects parameter 1 to be resource, object given

I think that I can save the image on my public directory and then copy the file into the bucket.

But, is there a best approach to do this? Like create the image and then save it into the bucket?

Thanks!
