Focal point cropping

I read you are planning to implement an image cropping tool in the backend - cool! I just stumbled over a (not new) concept I hadn't heard of before: for the "art direction" image cropping use case with different aspect ratios at different breakpoints - allow users to specify a focal point:

Maybe that would be a perch-like approach for easy image cropping (instead of the editors having to crop multiple variants for different breakpoints)?

Yes, that's what we have in development.

You're so good!

That sounds great! Is there by any chance a developer version people can get access to? (like the shop app)

Registered Developers get early access, but we're not there yet with 2.9. Shop has my time currently.
