Does transformation require a base image?

Do you have to create a base image on which to apply a transformation, or can you program Cloudinary to create a base image to start the transformation? For example, I need to transform solid color background 1080x1080. I would like to program Cloudinary to create that image on which to build the transformations, rather than uploading a plain box.

    Hi @Medaut ,

    Thanks for your question. You need a base image to work on. The derived Images(Ones with any transformation) need an original image to be worked on. A set of (one or more) parameters that, when applied in a Cloudinary URL, programmatically modify a specified original media file, resulting in a newly generated (derived) media file based on the original.

    I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have further questions

    Thanks,
    Sree
