php - watermark on Laravel

I am wondering if you can help me again. I am having trouble with creating/putting a watermark on the profile images.

Till now I have:

WaterMarkController.php:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Image;

class WaterMarkController extends Controller
{
    public function imageWatermark()
    {
        Image::make(public_path('storage/images/background.jpg'));

        /* insert watermark at bottom-right corner with 10px offset */
        $img->insert(public_path('storage/images/watermark.png'), 'bottom-right', 10, 10);
        $img->encode('png');

        $img->save(public_path('storage/images/new-image.png'));

        $type = 'png';
        $new_image = 'data:image/' . $type . ';base64,' . base64_encode($img);

        return view('show_watermark', compact('new_image'));
    }

    public function textWatermark()
    {
        Image::make(public_path('storage/images/background.jpg'));

        $img->text('MyNotePaper', 710, 370, function ($font) {
            $font->file(public_path('font/amandasignature.ttf'));
            $font->size(30);
            $font->color('#f4d442');
            $font->align('center');
            $font->valign('top');
            $font->angle(0);
        });

        $img->save(public_path('storage/images/new-image.png'));

        $img->encode('png');
        $type = 'png';
        $new_image = 'data:image/' . $type . ';base64,' . base64_encode($img);

        return view('show_watermark', compact('new_image'));
    }

}

The file - show_watermark.blade.php:

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <title>Laravel Add Watermark on Images</title>
</head>
<body style="margin-top: 40px; text-align: center;">

<h1>Laravel Add Watermark</h1>

<img src="{{$new_image}}" alt="Watermark">

</body>
</html>

and the routes:

Route::get('watermark-image', 'WaterMarkController@imageWatermark');
Route::get('watermark-text', 'WaterMarkController@textWatermark');

what else should be done? Because I am having the error :

Intervention\Image\Exception\NotReadableException Image source not readable

How do I make it readable? And nowhere in the code, I haven't shown the path to the image that I want for watermark (I have created my own logo for the project and I want to use it), how do I show the path to it? And do I put it in the same place where the profile pictures are or, in another folder?

Thanks in Advance!!!

Solution:

I dont know what do you happen, maybe if your use Linux you need to add permissions to the public folder maybe, because on windows I create a project with your code and work perfectly, sure that you have the files on correct folders

public function imageWatermark()
    {
        $img = Image::make(public_path('images/background.jpg'));

        /* insert watermark at bottom-right corner with 10px offset */
        $img->insert(public_path('images/logo-dateado-blanco.png'), 'bottom-right', 10, 10);
        $img->encode('png');

        $img->save(public_path('images/new-image.png'));

        $type = 'png';
        $new_image = 'data:image/' . $type . ';base64,' . base64_encode($img);

        return view('show_watermark', compact('new_image'));
    }
