Quality must be in range 0 to 100

Error message

Quality must be in range 0 to 100

What it means

TiffEncoder validates its $quality constructor option and throws InvalidArgumentException unless it is an integer in the range 0-100. The value arrives directly via new TiffEncoder(quality: N) or through option forwarding from $image->save('out.tiff', quality: N) / encodeUsingPath(), which resolve the TIFF encoder from the extension and pass your options to its constructor.

Solutions

1. Clamp the value: max(0, min(100, $quality))
2. Validate quality in the job/config layer before it reaches the encoder
3. Add an assertion or unit test that your configured quality constant stays within 0-100

Example fix

// before
$encoder = new TiffEncoder(quality: $job->quality); // payload may carry any int

// after
$encoder = new TiffEncoder(quality: max(0, min(100, (int) $job->quality)));

$quality = max(0, min(100, (int) $quality));
$image->save('scan.tiff', quality: $quality);

function isValidQuality(mixed $quality): bool
{
    return is_int($quality) && $quality >= 0 && $quality <= 100;
}

When it happens

Trigger: new TiffEncoder(quality: 105), new TiffEncoder(-2), or $image->save('scan.tiff', quality: $value) with the value outside 0-100.

Common situations: Scan/archival pipelines where quality comes from unvalidated job payloads or environment configuration; values above 100 ported from tools that treat larger numbers as higher quality; negative numbers from defaults arithmetic.
