-For advanced usage the `Image<TColor, TPacked>` class is available allowing developers to implement their own color models in the same manner as Microsoft XNA Game Studio and MonoGame

+```csharp
+Image image = new Image(400, 400);

 All in all this should allow image processing to be much more accessible to developers which has always been my goal from the start.
