Comment:

 I'm not sure I agree (just to give a counterpoint), if I manually crop an
 image, it is to put emphasis on a part of it, making it no longer relevant
 to the meta data added to the full image.

 Scenario:
 - I upload a picture of a bunch of football players, I give it an alt
 label of "The whole football team in action"
 - I crop the image, I only want the part of the image where a player kicks
 the ball, I now have "Player McGee in action", as such it's expected that
 a new Alt title be put in, if we auto-populate the field then this will
 just be ignored.

 I think a much better approach would be if the cropping tool actually
 provided the meta sidebar like the other media management windows does.
 This would allow the meta data to be manipulated there and then, without
 running the risk of being forgotten or ignored, thoughts?
