Native Image Editing (Crop, Rotate, Resize) for Image Blocks

To streamline the research workflow and maintain a polished page layout within Capacities, we should implement basic, native image editing tools (cropping, rotating, and resizing) directly within the image block context menu. PKM users frequently capture screenshots, book covers, and diagrams that require quick framing adjustments; forcing them to use external applications breaks their cognitive flow and disrupts deep work. Providing these lightweight, block-level adjustments removes significant capture-to-synthesis friction, keeps visual thinkers inside the app, and helps users optimize their workspace organization.

Crucially, optimizing image dimensions and cropping out unnecessary areas *before* full server synchronization will significantly reduce the volume of data uploaded to and stored on Capacities' servers, offering a high-impact, cost-saving infrastructure win alongside a premium user experience.

I noticed that I can't even rotate an uploaded image that was sideways. This seems like a basic feature.
