No Easy way To Create a blank MagickImage.

[jdmsolarius]

The only Constructor I could find static internal MagickImage _MagickImage = new MagickImage(MagickColors.Black, 2048, 2048) { Depth = 16, HasAlpha = false, Format = MagickFormat.Tiff, ColorType = ColorType.Grayscale, ColorSpace=ColorSpace.Gray }; This was confusing because Almost every Imaging Library has a constructor for Length and Width that allows me to create an In-Memory array.

Takes 105 Milliseconds when I run it but Loading the Actual Tiff File (which has these attributes) only takes ~10 milliseconds, Loading the Byte Array only takes ~8 Milliseconds. Can you speak to this at all? By Comparison

Constructing a 2048x2048 Bitmap with PixelFormat24bppRGB takes 5 Milliseconds.
Constructing a 2048x2048 OpenCVMatrix with MatType 16CVU1 takes 3 Milliseconds.

The interesting thing is that MagickImage is faster than these other Libraries when there is an actual Image** for reference the reason I want a Template is that I can Load a MagickImage in 2-2.5 Milliseconds (at least 4X Faster on Average) if I Clone a Template and write Data to that Template in Parallel on a 12 Core Machine. On a 16 Core Machine this number is ~1.7.

Why are you setting ColorType and ColorSpace? This will perform an operation on the pixels and you probably don't need this.
