title: How do I display a dynamically resized image in Kohana without saving it?
body: <p>I have an image path string stored in  a database</p>
  
  <p>It goes like: img/uploads/imagename.jpg</p>
  
  <p>I have a controller:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$this-&gt;image = new Image($wines-&gt;image)
  
  //this is assuming that I have a wines table with the image property
  
  $this-&gt;image-&gt;resize(60, 250, Image::AUTO)
  
  echo $this-&gt;image-&gt;render();
  
  //the problem is nothing is rendered
  
  //Is there a better way of doing this? the image path that I am passing at the Image object //instantiation is the result of a query
  </code></pre>
