Description
### Your use case
#### What would you like to do?
rotate images before uploading
#### Why would you like to do it?
:arrow_up: this side up :)
#### How would you like to achieve it?
use the same buttons from the lightbox. rotate via metadata if possible (lossless, not recompressing the image data). re-encode if not possible.
### Have you considered any alternatives?
_No response_
### Additional context
this idea could be expanded to also allow the cropping of images' edges, or runtime of audio/video
