Restore ability to edit image thumbnails
Description
A recent WordPress update changed the built-in photo editor, removing the ability to edit image thumbnails.
Being able to edit thumbnails was terrific for featured images on posts because it allowed us to capitalize on the tiny image in a post listing. Often the automatically-generated thumbnail is too zoomed out or weirdly cropped, making them not very engaging.
I would love to see the ability to edit thumbnails restored through the built-in editor or some other means.
