Crop images inside of Blender

You have e. g. a reference or background image and dont want to see all of it.

Like in Microsoft Word you should be able to crop images.

  • Where would you find this? Which editor?
  • Is it a tool in the toolbar? An operator? Is the operator modal?
  • Is there a shortcut for it?
  • Would it save over the image or temporary?
  • How would it work with EXR images with multiple passes?

When making a proposal, the more questions and use cases you can answer the easier it is for developers to pick it up.

I think this can have sense in objects in edit mode, can be more comfy to edit as some "layer" similar to vector objects. But right.. this layer as UV etc. must be recognized on smallest mesh, eg. easy when simple field as plane, but what if cube or other multiply-geometry object.

Also it be great to manage crop like animated action for camera if background is movie clip. Due camera should not record movie clip as plane like cinema screen but background then hard to realize zoom, angles.

If it's a feature of the image plane, it's already something interesting to have, simple and won't impact other areas of Blender.
