Update

As of last month (May 2018), Microsoft have a production release (previously it was preview/RC) of System.Drawing.Common, a NuGet package which supersedes both versions of the CoreCompat.System.Drawing package. This should be used going forwards.

For now you can use the CoreCompat.System.Drawing nuget package.

We've been using it in production code for a few months (drawing on video screencaps) and it has been working great. It's basically a slot-in replacement for System.Drawing.
