It isn't complete yet, but I started to create this a while ago in response to two similar requests. Two other recent similar requests prompted me to continue the effort. It hotlinks the images which is not ideal but it is the only way (as far as I know) to get the effect you want without either using JS or requiring users to download-crop-upload separate versions of the images. The reason hotlinking isn't ideal is because the images are images are treated as external content. In addition to issues I probably haven't thought of, this means that the hotlinks don't count towards the image use counts. So, for example, if you use an image 20 times but all 20 instances are hotlinks, the image will still be shown in the database as unused.
