I have a v9 install using ImageSharp 1.0.4 and with the release of ImageSharp 2.0.0 I thought I'd upgrade to get the WebP support, only this upgrade breaks nearly all calls to the media.
Since the reference to ImageSharp 1.0.4 is a dependency of the Umbraco install, I've had to explicitly install ImageSharp 2.0.0 which the project doesn't complain about but any attempts to access the media with a height/width/format querystring throws a MissingMethodException, specifically the Image.DetectFormatAsync() method.
Obviously this is only called when an attempt is made to call a method dynamically but it impliesthat the ImageSharp library is missing the method which it isn't.
ImageSharp 2 is not currently being shipped with Umbraco v9 because it is a considered a breaking change - There is a github discussion/issue about it all I believe.
Some people have had success in "hacking" it to get it to work, however there is also a comment that it doesn't work with blob storage as some changes to the provider would be needed.

Hi Kieron,
ImageSharp 2 is not currently being shipped with Umbraco v9 because it is a considered a breaking change - There is a github discussion/issue about it all I believe.
However, this thread here might help:

Some people have had success in "hacking" it to get it to work, however there is also a comment that it doesn't work with blob storage as some changes to the provider would be needed.
Thanks
