## What it is
ImageProcessor is a fluent C# wrapper around System.Drawing for on-the-fly image processing, supporting formats like JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, and WebP. It includes a desktop library and an ASP.NET dynamic image-processing extension, but the project has been retired in favor of ImageSharp.

## Use cases
- resize and crop images in a .NET application
- process images on-the-fly in ASP.NET
- convert images between jpeg, png, gif, and webp formats
- add watermarks to uploaded images
- generate thumbnails for a website

## When to choose
- you are locked into .NET Framework on Windows and cannot migrate
- maintaining a legacy ASP.NET application that already uses ImageProcessor

## When to avoid
- you are on .NET Core, .NET 5+, or any non-Windows OS
- starting a new project - use ImageSharp instead
- you need actively maintained software with security fixes

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: image-processing
- domain: image-processing, web-development
- platform: windows, dotnet
- tags: system-drawing, aspnet, fluent-api, retired, csharp
