Safe resize / and crop with aspect ratio keeping.

[codec-abc]

I am writing a software to easily resize and crop image to a specific resolution. I managed to do the GUI in a Winform app but I struggle to do the resize and crop. What I would like is to give a rectangle where any corner can be outside the image (meaning x or y can be < 0 or x >= width or y >= height) without having an exception. It would be even better if I can easily specify the color to use to fill the empty space.
An image being clearer, let's say I want to extract the area defined by the red rectangle and resize it to a specific resolution while controlling the color of the black area. Is there an easy way to do this out the box?

For the record Crop and Resize but did not manage to do this.

Hi @codec-abc

Yes you should be able to do this with the Resize Options. https://docs.sixlabors.com/api/ImageSharp/SixLabors.ImageSharp.Processing.ResizeOptions.html?q=ResizeOptions

I would first crop using an intersection of the image bounds and the crop rectangle, you can then do a resize using the pad mode and set a pad color.

@JimBobSquarePants Works like a charm. You probably saved me a few hours of toying around. Thanks!
