Description of the need
Many end-users today do not expect to have to "prepare" images before uploading them. They should be able to crop, rotate, flip, etc. images after they have been uploaded into a system. The "art" of even manipulating an image prior to posting is unheard of to younger audiences, when the primary feature of many photo sharing tools is last minute manipulation on an image through an app or website.
Proposed solution
After uploading an image, you should have basic manipulation tools available to modify that image. I think a tool like https://fengyuanchen.github.io/cropperjs/ provides a good basic set of functionality for crop, rotate, and flip.
An additional library (or a more comprehensive one) that also provides filters may also be desirable, such as http://camanjs.com/examples/ but that one in particular is no longer supported, nor is it a GPL-compatible license.
Alternatives that have been considered
We could always leave this in contrib. Both of these modules exist for Drupal
https://www.drupal.org/project/imageeditor - provides integration with arbitrary image editing software. https://www.drupal.org/project/image_edit - Specific integration with CamanJS
Additional information
Ideally you'd be able to edit an image both immediately after uploading (such as in a dialog) and after uploading from the File management listing (admin/content/files). Perhaps initially we should just worry about one or the other, with the file listing option being the easier one because it would probably just get its own page.

This saved my day, exactly what I had cooked up but I could not find the necessary settings. Thanks a bundle :)

Hello - Glad to met Backdrop
I have just received notification from my hosting provider of a similar upgrade, ie MariaDB 10.3 to 10.6 and later to 10.11. Is there any reason to suppose this will cause any problems...
