What is the purpose of Intervention ImageCache?
What is the purpose of Intervention ImageCache? Why and when should i use it? When i upload an image i create and store multiple images with their own size, like small, medium, large and use them in my views. thanks in advance!

Well.. I can see how to use it but i don't understand when to use it.
Can i upload an original image and use imagecache in my website to receive to right format or should i create and store different formats/sizes in the backend and call these images in my website.

Seems like instead of re-doing modifications like resize each time the image is requested (which is performance consuming), it saves the modifications in a new file and serve it on subsequent requests.

Thanks for reply!
Example: when i upload an image from my cms i also create a thumbnail and use to create a list of images. /images/thumbnail/image.jpg
Or is better to just upload an image and when want to create a list of images, use imagecache, for example /imagecache/small/image.jpg

The point of image cache is to use solution 2 so you don't have to worry about creating thumbnails
