Image cropping and resizing tool in CMS

There is an image cropping and resizing tool included in the Rich Text Editor (RTE) within the CMS. Access this feature via:

"Insert/Edit image" --> "Resources Browser" --> "Edit Image"

This tool may come in handy for simple, occasional use - especially when you are not working on your usual computer and don't have access to all of your software. However, it is not really a robust replacement for proper image conversion software, and it isn't recommended as such.
