createDerivedAsset createderivedasset
Creates a new asset derived from an existing primary source image asset.
Syntax
Derived assets specify Image Server protocol commands that modify the representation of the owner image. The AdjustedView derived type helps apply simple modifications to a single image (for example, by specifying a crop rectangle), while the LayerView helps create a multilayer view which may include text or additional images.
Unlike an image copy (see copyImage), a derived image is linked to its owner image. Changes to the owner image modifies associated derived assets. Deleting the owner image deletes any associated derived images.
