 Replying to [comment:6 joehoyle]:
 > I think even today if you were to implement this in the admin, you'd
 actually want to post a blob back, and do all transformation in
 JavaScript, say on a `<canvas>`.

 Also note this WICG proposal: https://discourse.wicg.io/t/proposal-native-
 media-optimization-and-basic-editing-support/4068/11. Eventually "native"
 image editing may be (is?) coming to the browsers, including setting of
 the EXIF data, etc. If/when this gets added to the browsers thinking the
 old-style image editor should finally be replaced with a client-side
 editor that, ideally, would be using the REST API.
