The same great effects that power Pinta are now available in a purely managed, graphics toolkit agnostic library you can easily use in your .NET app. All effects are implemented as multi-threaded Tasks that support cancelation. Originally from the excellent Paint.NET, with a few lines of code you can use filters like:

• Gaussian Blur
• Brightness/Contrast
• AutoLevel
• Sepia
• Add Noise
• and 30+ others

##Using the Pinta.ImageManipulation Library

Pinta.ImageManipulation.dll is graphics toolkit agnostic and works purely on BGRA byte arrays. Some wrappers for common graphics toolkits are available.

For example, if you are using System.Drawing, add Pinta.ImageManipulation.dll and Pinta.ImageManipulation.System.Drawing.dll to your project. Then to apply a Gaussian blur to an image, use:

var src_bitmap = new System.Drawing.Bitmap (@"C:\pic.png");

var src_wrap = new BitmapWrapper (src_bitmap);

var blur = new GaussianBlurEffect ();
await blur.RenderAsync (src_wrap);

src_bitmap.Save (@"C:\pic2.png");
