Pinta Effects for Your .NET Apps
Pinta wouldn't exist today without the amazing code from the previously open source Paint.NET . Now we've decided to pay it forward and make that same code available for other developers to easily use in their applications. To accomplish this, we've extracted the code for all of Pinta's effects into a graphics toolkit agnostic library called Pinta.ImageManipulation and posted it up on NuGet for easy use. This includes over 35 multi-threaded effects exposed as cancelable Tasks. The core of Pinta.ImageManipulation is graphics toolkit agnostic and only works on arrays of BGRA bytes, but we've also included wrappers for System.Drawing (GDI+) and Cairo (GTK+). Now that you've got all those great new holiday photos, let's see how to apply an effect to them in 5 lines of code. Create a new project, bring up the NuGet dialog, and search for Pinta: Select the Pinta.ImageManipulation.System.Drawing package and install it... ..which adds 2 new proje
