Intervention/image memory_limit

Hello team, I need your help. 4 hours tying to understand one thing. I am using Intervention/image memory_limit I have 128M

Problem is that when I am trying to open file. I am getting error 500.

$file_name = $request->file('myImage');
Image::make($file_name)->resize(300, 200)->save('foo.jpg');

As I understand We a running out of memory. PHP error log: [07-Apr-2016 22:41:10 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 21248 bytes) in /Users/Freel/Desktop/Web/project22.dev/vendor/intervention/image/src/Intervention/Image/Gd/Decoder.php on line 114

Question: I found somewhere in google that memory_limit can be max 128M, so how to solve this issue? how to make this library work?

Image files I am trying to convert is 5mb. Thanks

@freel did you restart fpm service after you changed the limit? look at php_info() and see what it says

@freel I used this package in the past for an online image resizer and I had problems with memory limit too, I solved it with this simple line of code

public function resize(){
    ini_set('memory_limit','256M');
    # Do your Intervention/image operations...
}

As I remember, I didn't need to configure anything else. Maybe it's not a memory limit problem, but a file size limit. If you want, try to upload your image in my resizer app and tell me if something went wrong, otherwise try the method above.
