Snap crop selection to center of canvas #369
Description
I'd love the crop selection tool to snap to the vertical and horizontal center of the image.
I often crop images for articles, and my publication's CMS requires specific sizes/aspect ratios for headers and other image placements. Being able to center my selection while cropping would allow me to perfectly compose my image.
The best implementation I've seen of this is in Photoshop - even pre-cloud-only versions of the app have it.
Thanks for reading!

I'll keep this open as a feature request.
