Most of the functionality already exists in Writer, and we are not 
talking about image editing in the literal sense, only about resizing 
and cropping. It need not contribute significantly to bloat if well 
written. Have you ever looked at IrfanView (a very capable and well 
regarded Windows image manipulation program) that is only 2.0 MB 
(installed size) with capabilities that go way beyond anything we are 
talking about.

Of all the images that I have processed for use in Writer, I have never 
used the same processed image elsewhere. Your usage may be different.

FUD? Who said anything about *that* functionality being bad?
