  Hi there,

  Cropping and rotating images is not possible in the post editor. You can only do that if you view the image directly in the media library, here:
  https://thecosmopolitannomade.wordpress.com/wp-admin/upload.php

  It is also explained this way in the instructions @timethief provided you.

  However, it is better to crop and rotate your images in a program like Picasa or an app like pixlr.com BEFORE you upload your images. Those types of programs work much better for images than the tools in your media library.
