Magick.NET is also good, but has some unmanaged dependencies.
If you want pure .NET, cross-platform, and future compatibility, SkiaSharp is the new way to do it.
ImageSharp is another option, but could have licence implications.
Another option for more advanced image manipulation - use OpenCV wrapper like opencvsharp. I haven't done much benchmarking, but from my understanding this is considerably faster option than anything made in managed code (like ImageSharp), but coming at the cost of native dependency and a bit more C++-style API and other quirks of OpenCV.
