   Hello,

   I have come across a problem when I try to crop a photo after having uploaded it.

   For example, let's say I want to use this photo in my site:

   http://template.childmodelingadvice.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/donut-want2.jpg

   But I actually only want to show the donut. So I take these steps:

   1. Open the image in my media library.
   2. Click Edit
   3. Check that "Apply changes to all image sizes" is selected
   4. Draw a box around the donut and hit Crop
   5. Click save

   If I do that, I end up with this image, which clearly isn't centered on the donut:

   http://template.childmodelingadvice.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/donut-want2-e1326801234812.jpg

   Any idea what's going on here?

   Cheers,

   Tom

   P.S. I am aware that I could just crop the image in a graphics editor, but I am writing up a tutorial on the new WordPress media uploader and so need to explain all the features.
