Resize uploaded image in MVC 6 - image

Question

What is the best way to resize an uploaded image in MVC 6? I'd like to store multiple variants of an image (such as small, large, etc.) to be able to choose which to display later.
Here's my code for the action.
[HttpPost]
public async Task<IActionResult> UploadPhoto()
{
if (Request.Form.Files.Count != 1)
return new HttpStatusCodeResult((int)HttpStatusCode.BadRequest);
IFormFile file = Request.Form.Files[0];
// calculate hash
var sha = System.Security.Cryptography.SHA256.Create();
byte[] hash = sha.ComputeHash(file.OpenReadStream());
// calculate name and patch where to store the file
string extention = ExtentionFromContentType(file.ContentType);
if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(extention))
return HttpBadRequest("File type not supported");
string name = WebEncoders.Base64UrlEncode(hash) + extention;
string path = "uploads/photo/" + name;
// save the file
await file.SaveAsAsync(this.HostingEnvironment.MapPath(path));
}

I would suggest using Image Processor library.
http://imageprocessor.org/imageprocessor/
Then you can just do something along the lines of:
using (var imageFactory = new ImageFactory())
using (var fileStream = new FileStream(path))
{
file.Value.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
imageFactory.FixGamma = false;
imageFactory.Load(file.Value)
.Resize(new ResizeLayer(new Size(264, 176)))
.Format(new JpegFormat
{
Quality = 100
})
.Quality(100)
.Save(fileStream);
}
Where file.Value is your file that was uploaded (the stream) (I don't know what it is in MVC, this is code I use in a Nancy project)
