Simply stating that is quite enough for me:

At Authorization you have to enter the Basic Auth of course.

You have not entered an authorization.
And you use an absolute path to transfer file. I have selected the file. Thus postman loads the necessary header information for me from the file.

(@threadi)

With this return, the API confirms that it has successfully saved the image. Why then the image generation does not work could be due to many other things. Also plugins or the theme you are using. Or missing PHP libraries.

Can you now give me a source page where I can see the step-by-step guide?
