Description of the need
Almost always someone wants to keep the width and height synced so as not to distort the image. It would be nice to keep them synced automatically. But there may be times that someone wants to stretch or squeeze an image so there should also be an option to override.
There's also this related issue: https://github.com/backdrop/backdrop-issues/issues/3599
Proposed solution
There is a contrib module that gets most of the way: https://github.com/backdrop-contrib/editorimgdimensionsync. Just need an option to override this sync in case someone wants to not keep the ratio.
Alternatives that have been considered
There is the alternative but hard to discover. This is a simple feature that would be used by almost everyone most of the time.

Which database tables can I saftely empty before DB backup
Hi. I use the "[node:title] | [site:name]" tokens for the main image of news articles, blog posts, and similar publications. It's a quick and practical automatic ALT.

I understand how tokens work, but not so much their practical use in image alt/text (maybe caption?) text. Could you give an example or two?
