## Describe the problem/error/question

getting the error “ERROR: Stream yields empty buffer”

I wish this node would…  
crop a image for me

## Problem in node ‘Edit Image‘

Stream yields empty buffer

## What is the error message (if any)?

```auto
Error: Stream yields empty buffer
    at Socket.<anonymous> (/www/wwwroot/auto.extreme-mile.com/n8n/node_modules/gm/lib/command.js:56:21)
    at Socket.emit (node:events:525:35)

Hey @Yossi_Yhezkel,

In the template you have not filled out how you are running n8n, I can see Docker has been left there but looking at your error message I suspect that isn’t the case.

My first thought is that you are missing a dependency which shouldn’t be the case on Docker but just incase you are not on Docker can you make sure you have `graphicsmagick` installed.
