Comment (by gcorne):

 I agree with @wonderboymusic. While I think that making the image editor
 more flexible for plugin authors would be awesome, the goal of at least
 this ticket is to incorporate the image editor into the media modal, so I
 think it would be best if we refactored so that the image editor becomes a
 Backbone view that can easily be used in the modal.

 In terms of functionality, I think we might want to think in terms of two
 basic modes:

 1. An attachment editor mode where the user can edit any or all of the
 various intermediate sizes for an image. This mode is more or less what we
 have now.

 2. A single image editor mode where the user is taken to a somewhat
 simplified UI where they are editing only one particular image size. I am
 thinking that this mode would make sense in for example the post editor
 when editing an image that has already been inserted. I am not exactly
 sure how it would work while still maintaining the integrity of the
 intermedia sizes, but I think it could be quite useful. Another situation
 where a single mode image editor would be useful is in header editor where
 it could be used inline and then in the customizer where it could be used
 as a state in the modal.
