Canvas Image
To add ImageSharp superpowers to your console application to draw images, you will need to install the Spectre.Console.ImageSharp NuGet package.
> dotnet add package Spectre.Console.ImageSharp
Loading images
Once you've added the Spectre.Console.ImageSharp NuGet package,
you can create a new instance of CanvasImage to draw images to the console.
// Load an image
var image = new CanvasImage("cake.png");
// Set the max width of the image.
// If no max width is set, the image will take
// up as much space as there is available.
image.MaxWidth(16);
// Render the image to the console
AnsiConsole.Write(image);

Manipulating images
You can take full advantage of ImageSharp and manipulate images directly via its Processing API.
// Load an image
var image = new CanvasImage("cake.png");
image.MaxWidth(32);
// Set a sampler that will be used when scaling the image.
image.BilinearResampler();
// Mutate the image using ImageSharp
image.Mutate(ctx => ctx.Grayscale().Rotate(-45).EntropyCrop());
// Render the image to the console
AnsiConsole.Write(image);
