**ImageSharp** is a new, fully featured, fully managed, cross-platform, 2D graphics API designed to allow the processing of images without the use of `System.Drawing`. We have been able to develop something much more flexible, easier to code against, and much, much less prone to memory leaks. Gone are system-wide process-locks; ImageSharp images are thread-safe and fully supported in web environments.

Built against .Net Standard 1.1 ImageSharp can be used in device, cloud, and embedded/IoT scenarios.
Please... Spread the word, contribute algorithms, submit performance improvements, unit tests.
Performance is a biggie, if you know anything about the `System.Numerics.Vectors` types and can apply some fancy new stuff with that it would be awesome.
There's a lot of developers out there who could write this stuff a lot better and faster than I and I would love to see what we collectively can come up with so please, if you can help in any way it would be most welcome and benificial for all.
Please... Spread the word, contribute algorithms, submit performance improvements, unit tests, no input is too little.
