It might not be clear to you but as a maintainer and member of the Foundation it's very clear to me. The DNF used temporarily assigned permissions (assigned under the premise that they needed authority to fix a CLA bot) to move several repositories to their own organization. This is unacceptable by any measure.

Thanks! Yeah, we've made excellent progress and whilst we are still calling it an alpha it's a very, very solid alpha.

I know Nathanael and have chatted plenty with him over the years on the subject. We're trying to solve different problems really in the field and I really hope he achieves what he wants.

We've got pretty good performance so far ( faster than System.Drawing in many regards and we know how to improve it further) and a great feature set but we still have a lot to do.

I'm personally working with another chap on ICC profile support just now which is very complicated but will give us a full color management system once finished.

While I figure that out I'm hoping that some of the performance gurus out there will step up and offer to tweak the library where necessary.

That's some improvement. Will definitely have a proper look.

I may have to buy that!

Thanks. Didn't know about that library. We do a lot of matrix operations but have so far found System.Numerics.Vectors covers our immediate use cases.

I'd say somewhere in between. I've started with a very high level fluent API since I see that as the most common use case but have exposed a couple of important properties that will allow more low-level operations (pointers etc).

I have also created a generic image pipeline Image<TColor> that uses all the packed pixel color models used in XNA and Monogame which make it useful in gaming for loading textures.

The dream is that eventually the community will help port a lot of the algorithms over from libraries like Accord, OpenCV and AForge to allow usage in more scientific scenarios. Some of them will fit in the fluent API most will not but the tools should already be within the library to allow porting and usefulness.

Cheers, will do!

Thanks!

That's great to hear, With future updates and a little help I'm sure we can improve the performance further and make us the g0-to library.

And thanks for saying thanks, it is rare and always very much appreciated.

This isn't my first rodeo with Hacker News, I've unfortunately had negative responses before when sharing my work.

Chat to us on github. Our path drawing public API's are very similar to System.Drawing so we may well be able to provide you with the same functionality.

Amazed this is trending. If anyone has any interest in image processing of performance in general please get in touch and give me a hand. Any help will be appreciated.

Definitely do please give it a try!

Great to see the positive comments here. ImageSharp is my baby and it fills me with a lot of confidence that it's something that developers both want and need.

I do agree. When I spoke to one of the guys there a while back though they said they simply had too much on their plate at the time and were hoping the community would kick in and help.

I've been working on a solution to that. github.com/JimBobSquarePants/ImageProcessor
