If online platforms can do things like these, why not windows too? (this question is just rhetorical, you know :P )

Next thing you know you'll be asking for options to set brightness, contrast, saturation or turn the image into greyscale.

I could also say that I wish I didn't have to open my document in Word to edit it, but that'd be plain silly because that's what Word is for - editing documents. Likewise, that's what image editors are for - cropping, rotating, resizing, etc.

MS Word can edit photos (crop, brightness, contrast, saturation, effects) in its documents but its not an image editor, WMP can adjust the brightness, saturation, contrast, hue but its not a video editor

but this is NOT just about editing
its about 'personalization'
and brightness, contrast, saturation, gray scale are all tools of personalization
so yes i would ask for that
(editing is part of personalization but its personalization)

blueduck12: I disagree that image editing is part of personalisation. Or if you insist that it is, shouldn't the personalisation options also include a wave editor (to modify Windows sounds or create custom ones)? A lightweight edition of Visual Studio (to create screensavers)? An icon editor (to create custom icons and mouse cursors)? Because by your logic, those are all tools of personalisation.

@chris
office who?
I thought this board is about the OS
I will never install office on my pc! And i'm pritty pissed i have to install all readers because people keep sening me non-starderized documents.

I agree the OS should support at least bitmap editing. It does with paint but paint does not support adjustable rotation!

Please learn to read, you only make your self look like an idiot.
