Imagesharp: Load existing PNG from filesystem and access image pixels

[asterixorobelix]

Description

I am writing a .net core 2 class library. I would like to load a png from the filesystem (the name of the file is specified in the UI). I would then like to have access to the individual pixels of the image.

However, the Image object does not have a Load method associated with it?

From API documentation on github
// Image.Load(string path) is a shortcut for our default type. Other pixel formats use Image.Load<TPixel>(string path)) using (Image<Rgba32> image = Image.Load("foo.jpg")) { image.Mutate(x => x .Resize(image.Width / 2, image.Height / 2) .Grayscale()); image.Save("bar.jpg"); // automatic encoder selected based on extension. }

Steps to Reproduce

My Code:

System Configuration

• ImageSharp version:
  RevStackCore-ImageSharp (0.9.0)
• Environment (Operating system, version and so on):
  Windows 7, Visual Studio 2017 15.5.1
• .NET Framework version:
  .Net core 2
• Additional information:

Your not using our package.. you are using a package some third-party uploaded without our permission. Make sure your using the SixLabors.ImageSharp package.

Thanks @tocsoft

I am reasonably sure that I am using the official package. The url below:
https://sixlabors.com/blog/announcing-imagesharp-beta-1/

points directly to this github repository.

The nuget package which I downloaded mentions JimBobSquarePants (James Jackson-South) @JimBobSquarePants as the Author(s). See attached.

Nuget has no other packages named ImageSharp. Am I using the wrong package?

Nope that is not the office package like I said the official package is SixLabors.ImageSharp https://www.nuget.org/packages/SixLabors.ImageSharp your need to make sure you tick the Include preview checkbox as we are still in beta at the moment thus have yet to produce a fist full release.

The one you have found is a package a third-party unofficially released without our consent without the pre-release tag causing confusion for many people. We have tried without much success to have it de-listed.

Thank you - possibly, the contents of this issue should be placed on the Readme.md of this github repository in order to prevent more confusion.

Nuget really need to fix this. I'll nag again.

@tachyon1337 looks like you are the maintainer of the package in question. We have regular issues because people are downloading your package by mistake. (See: #425 #422)

It was an early & unstable version of our library. Since then, we improved our implementation a lot, and our API went under a significant change. Keeping the alpha package online is really unprofessional, and it hurts everyone.

Is it possible to take it down for the best of the users? We already tried to reach you using official channels AFAIK.
