PSFilterHost (nuget): This library allows applications built with .NET 2.0 and later to run 3rd party Adobe® Photoshop® compatible filters.  Either 32-bit or 64-bit filters will be used depending on the processor architecture of the host process.  For 32-bit hosts the C# compiler enables Data Execution Prevention for the process, as many filters are not compatible with it you should use editbin or a similar tool to clear the IMAGE_DLLCHARACTERISTICS_NX_COMPAT flag (see http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ed_maurer/archive/2007/12/14/nxcompat-and-the-c-compiler.aspx for more details).  When using .NET 3.0 and later 8-bit and 16-bit Grayscale and RGB(A) images can be processed using WIC. The .NET 2.0 version uses GDIPlus which does not support 16-bit data and processes images as 32-bit ARGB.  An example project demonstrating how the use the library is available as part of the source code on the project downloads page.
