Sample Code

Load and Resize an Image

using CodeBrix.Imaging;
using CodeBrix.Imaging.Processing;

using var image = Image.Load("photo.jpg");

image.Mutate(x => x.Resize(800, 600));

image.Save("photo-resized.jpg");

Convert Image Format

using CodeBrix.Imaging;

using var image = Image.Load("photo.bmp");

image.Save("photo.png");

Apply Filters and Effects

using CodeBrix.Imaging;
using CodeBrix.Imaging.Processing;

using var image = Image.Load("photo.jpg");

image.Mutate(x => x
    .Grayscale()
    .GaussianBlur(3)
    .Resize(1024, 768));

image.Save("photo-processed.jpg");

Crop an Image

using CodeBrix.Imaging;
using CodeBrix.Imaging.Processing;

using var image = Image.Load("photo.jpg");

image.Mutate(x => x.Crop(new Rectangle(100, 100, 500, 400)));

image.Save("photo-cropped.jpg");

Note that additional sample code and usage examples are available in the CodeBrix.Imaging.Tests project.
