Usage:

```
$post->attachMediaFromRequest('cover_image', ['collection' => 'cover']);

$post->clearMedia('cover');
```

Image Driver Fallback
---------------------

[](#image-driver-fallback)

- Set `media-library.image_driver=imagick` to prefer Imagick.
- If Imagick is unavailable, the package automatically falls back to GD.
- Default driver is GD for broad compatibility (including Windows).
