Hi, all!
I'm writing to share a prototype image editor that our very own Prateek (prtksxna) has been working on. We're hoping to write an extension around this and provide it on-wiki as a replacement for several bots and off-wiki tools. It's only an experiment, but honestly, our upload pipeline lacks an editing tool, which is *so* 2003. I'm looking towards getting this released on Commons, as a BetaFeature™, within the next few months.
Feedback can be shared at the extension talk page: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:ImageTweaks/UI or on #wikimedia-multimedia or Freenode, or via private e-mail to myself or Prateek, if you prefer.
The code is here: https://github.com/prtksxna/ImageEditor
You can try a demo here: http://prtksxna.github.io/ImageEditor/
And finally, there's a sneak peek at the API documentation here: http://prtksxna.github.io/ImageEditor/docs/index.html
Thanks for your eyeballs and time!
Cool! Thanks you so much for sharing this here on the mailinglist!

Could you perhaps think about managing djvu files too? It would be perhaps useful for wikisource projects. Better too: you acould too consider - for Internet Archive djvu files - to access to jp2 or jpg high-resolution images stored into jp2.zip files - here an example for a illustrated Internet Archive book:
details page: https://archive.org/details/ConcreteThroughTheAgesLookingBackwardTwentyCentu... folder of jp2 and jpg images: https://archive.org/download/ConcreteThroughTheAgesLookingBackwardTwentyCent...
Usually images wrapped into djvu are very compressed, original jp2-jpg are much better.

At the moment this work is very focussed on making derivative alterations to image files only. We're not working on, and it is not aimed at being, a "Photoshop in the sky" for altering broken images to be fixed with a replacement, but more to provide secondary versions (e.g. a portrait cropped out of a larger image, or an adjusted example of re-colouration.
In particular, non-image formats (like videos or audio files) and extended-image formats (like DjVu or animated images) are not something we're going to work on. A different tool for your purposes could be built, but I don't think this is going to be the right one for what I imagine Wikisourcerers would want.
