# Resize Image And Clipping Path (Memory Friendly)

Resizes image and clipping path using memory-friendly Pipeline API.

## Instruction

Resize an image by reducing its dimensions to half while preserving the clipping paths in the Adobe resources, and save it to a new file.

## Usings

```csharp
using Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Codecs;
using Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Transforms;
```

## Code Snippet

```csharp
using (var reader = new JpegReader("Apple.jpg"))
using (var writer = new JpegWriter("ResizeImageAndClippingPathMemoryFriendly.jpg"))
using (var resize = new Resize(reader.Width / 2, reader.Height / 2))
{
    writer.AdobeResources = reader.AdobeResources;

    Pipeline.Run(reader + resize + writer);
}
```

## Explanation

The code:

- Reads the input image.
- Resizes the image to half of its original width and height.
- The clipping paths in the Adobe resources are preserved during the process.
- Saves the resized image with the specified output filename.
