Just wanted to add that I agree with this request.

The ability to rotate and crop images after upload would be great. It is
a request we have had from users a few times.

Best wishes,

Domi

Title:
  Simple image editor for basic manipulation

Status in Mahara:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  New Feature Request
  Mahara is an incredibly visual tool, and I've seen issues with displaying images often enough that I thought it was worth suggesting this as a useful feature. In an ideal world users will do all of their editing on dedicated software before loading a finished image, but in reality it's not always an option, and if mobile submission has been setup to allow users to send content from their mobile devices straight to Mahara it becomes even more useful to have these features.

  When loading an image from a computer the orientation data associated
  with the image doesn't always match what the user sees on their own
  computer (especially Apple devices). Two basic editing tools would
  greatly enhance Mahara functionality - a rotate image tool (by 90
  degrees per click), and a crop tool to trim displayed images. There
  are other features that could be added - but I believe those are the
  two that would have the biggest impact.

  Rather than suggesting something is created from scratch - there are existing open source or free web applications (eg below) that might provide a starting point for a tool that could be incorporated.
