Comment (by joedolson):

 List of changes:

 1) Organization: editing buttons are grouped together in a menu above the
 editing canvas and settings. This helps improve issues with proximity of
 controls and findability, and keeps all controls in a consistent location
 across views.

 2) Crop button is no longer multifunction. It only activates or
 deactivates the crop tools. This makes the use of the tool more
 predictable. On activation, the crop tool panel is made visible & an
 initial crop selection is made. If the selection is changed, that
 selection is retained if the user re-opens the panel. There is now an
 explicit set of Apply/Cancel buttons for cropping.

 3) Scale button added to menu. Scale button toggles the scale tool
 settings.

 4) Sidebar tools have been removed from the sidebar design and placed
 directly next/after to the editing canvas. This makes sidebar changes &
 warnings more obvious when visual focus is on the editing canvas, and
 makes the visual relationship better.

 5) Crop settings now include X and Y values so that a crop placement can
 be fully configured without use of a mouse.

 6) Editing canvas has been enlarged and a grid background added for a
 visual editing reference.

 7) Crop handles have been enlarged for easier mouse selection. (From 5px
 to 10px)

 8) Cancel button has improved text specifying that you are cancelling the
 entire editing session, rather than cancelling a specific action taken
 (e.g., cancelling crop selection.)

 9) Crop & scale inputs changed to number inputs.

 Patch is large, but most of that is because the order of controls has
 changed.
