Image Processing with .NET Core

If you're new to .NET Core, and familiar with the full .NET Framework, you may or may not have noticed that the System.Drawing namespace—which is very useful for image processing and manipulation—is not available to .NET Core. Because the full framework runs on Windows machines, .NET Core is cross platform; and to quote MSDN 'The System.Drawing namespace provides access to GDI+ basic graphics functionality.' We begin to see the problem here.

There is a good chance .NET Core will not be running on Windows, so we need to consider alternatives when looking to process images with .NET Core.
