Comment (by chriswallace):

 So what if instead of adding a way to define the crop with a filter we
 instead give the user the ability to crop the various image sizes
 themselves?

 This is just a rough wireframe of the idea, but imagine uploading an image
 and being presented with this screen:

 [[Image(http://f.cl.ly/items/0S3Q030o462E3X0R2r2v/crop-tool-single-image-
 upload.jpg)]]

 The user would be able to preview the crop for all image sizes and decide
 if anything needs to be done, then if they decide to edit the crop, they
 would easily be able to do so for any image sizes added by themes, plugins
 or Core, all in one screen.

 I know there are workflow issues here for multiple images, but it could be
 an accordion drop-down type list for multiple images and perhaps allow
 users to bypass this entire screen by having a checkbox for "Crop my
 images automatically" that is enabled by default.

 The other issue is if users have Regenerate Thumbnails installed and are
 changing the dimensions of their images which could potentially screw up
 their manual cropping. There would need to be a way to edit the crops or
 set new ones if a user changes their theme and wants to continue using the
 images they already have loaded in.

 Anyway, just a thought. Take it or leave it.
