 Since 3.5 we have the class WP_Image_Editor. This needs a file path to be
 able to manipulate an image. Currently you would have to use something
 like wp_get_image_editor( _load_image_to_edit_path( $post_id ) ). What is
 wrong since you are using a "private" function.

 Currently I'm working on this idea and you can find the code here
 https://github.com/markoheijnen/WP_Image/blob/master/wp-image.php. What it
 does now is getting the filepath, be able to get the image editor, add an
 image size on the fly and getting/updating the metadata.

 We really miss something like a WP_Image class in WordPress. However I'm
 not sure what kind of functionality is needed for it. I like the current
 class mainly because it gives you the power to create an image size for a
 specific media image and stores it in the sizes array. When a user removes
 the media image then also the custom sizes will be removed.
