Are there any common pitfalls or challenges associated with using the GD-Library for image manipulation in PHP?

One common challenge when using the GD-Library for image manipulation in PHP is memory management. Large images can consume a lot of memory and may cause the script to exceed the memory limit set in the php.ini file. To address this issue, you can free up memory by using the `imagedestroy()` function to release the memory allocated for the image after you are done with it.

// Load image
$image = imagecreatefromjpeg('image.jpg');

// Perform image manipulation here

// Free up memory
imagedestroy($image);
