A great image editing plugin for WordPress

A great feature of the Wordpress platform is that it allows you to easily implement pictures into your posts & pages with little to no effort.

However there has always been one thing missing from this, that is the ability to crop, and rotate your images live whilst you upload them. On numerous occasions i have uploaded a picture and then realized that i had put it the wrong way round. I would then have to re-upload a rotated version; this all takes time, time that i could use doing something else.

Tonight i was looking about the Wordpress plugin's page and found a great small plugin that lets you crop, resize, rotate and add watermarks to your pictures. You do not have to upload a picture then go to a different page in your admin panel to edit the picture, the plugin is implemented into the existing Wordpress image upload box and it only takes 2 seconds to fix up a picture.

I know for sure i will be using this plugin a lot in the future. The plugin is called: Scissors and can be found on the Wordpress plugin directory.
