10.1 | 2 | In the crash course on the API Gateway we discussed the various options available to [[secure>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Crash Course.Crash Course API Gateway.crashcourse-api-gateway-security.WebHome||target="blank"]] your API Gateway properly. In this microlearning, we will expand our knowledge on that topic by looking at a special case of securing your API Gateway. That case is special as you use an external identity provider (IDP) to govern the roles and users that have rights on your API Gateway. |

8.1 | 12 | This microlearning focuses on performing image transformations in eMagiz. |
| |
1.1 | 13 | |
| |
9.1 | 14 | By image transformation, we mean transforming the raw data that represents an image into another image format. |
| |
1.1 | 15 | |
| |
9.1 | 16 | * Read the help text of the component to understand which formats are supported |
| |
8.1 | 17 | * Ensure the input image is supplied in the correct format |
| 18 | * Ensure you wrap the output image in something if you want to do additional transformations on the data further downstream | ||

1.1 | 21 | |
| |
9.1 | 22 | In most cases, you will transform XML messages to other XML messages, or you will transform JSON or EDI messages in another of these formats. However, sometimes you want to perform an image transformation. With this image transformation, you can convert images in specific formats to another format (i.e., png). This can come in handy when you want to standardize the image format before using it further downstream in your business application(s). |
| |
1.1 | 23 | |
| |
9.1 | 24 | Before we dive into the specifics of how to configure this, let us first consider the following: |
| |
1.1 | 25 | |
| |
9.1 | 26 | * Read the help text of the component to understand which formats are supported |
| |
8.1 | 27 | * Ensure the input image is supplied in the correct format |
| 28 | * Ensure you wrap the output image in something if you want to do additional transformations on the data further downstream | ||

9.1 | 30 | {{warning}} This microlearning focuses on the image transformer component. Ensuring that the input is valid and the output fits the remainder of the process is highly dependent on the use case and will therefore not be discussed in this microlearning{{/warning}} |
| |
1.1 | 31 | |
| |
9.1 | 32 | When turning to the Create phase of eMagiz, we need to open the flow and enter "Start Editing" mode to add the necessary component. For example, in the left panel, you can search for "Image." This will yield the following result. |

1.1 | 35 | |
| |
9.1 | 36 | After dragging the component onto the canvas, you must define the channels first. |

| 38 | [[image:Main.Images.Microlearning.WebHome@expert-create-your-transformations-image-transformation-image-transformation-component-help.png]] | ||
| 39 | |||
| 40 | Secondly, we must select the desired image format we want to transform. Finally, the field indicates all valid values you can choose. Please note that 'PNG' is the default selection. | ||
| 41 | |||

| 43 | |||
| 44 | Once you have done this, the component configuration is finished, and you can transform your input image to a desired output image format. | ||
