# Advanced usage
Once your Glide [server](/1.0/config/setup/) is configured, there are a number of methods available to interact with it. For basic setups you'll likely only need the `outputImage()` method. However, if you plan to use Glide with a queuing server or in other more complex configurations, these methods can be useful.
## Source
~~~ php
outputImage($path, array $params);
// Generates and returns the image reponse
$server->getImageResponse($path, array $params);
// Generates and returns the image Base64 encoded
$server->getImageAsBase64($path, array $params);
// Generates the image
$server->makeImage($path, array $params);
