Regenerating Images Edited by User.

After function "**wp_create_image_subsizes**" **scales** or **rotates** original image on upload/regenerate, and file is then **EDITED** by user (cropped/resized/flipped etc), function "**wp_get_original_image_path**" will return **ORIGINAL** image path instead of **EDITED**/attached file path. Regenerate (again "**wp_create_image_subsizes**") using **ORIGINAL** image path, will destroy **EDITED** file metadata, and attach wrong (scaled/rotated) file as post attachment.

My proposal is not to use "**wp_get_original_image_path**" if get_attached_file( $this->attachment->ID ) is **EDITED**

Thanks.

Start by reading wp_create_image_subsizes and wp_get_original_image_path, then inspect how get_attached_file is used for edited images during regeneration. Reproduce regeneration after a user edit and verify that edited file metadata and the attached file path are preserved rather than replaced by the scaled or rotated original.
