I continued to test WideImage and the image editor.

Basis for further testing -

• Used the latest release from github/smottt/WideImage (1.1.4)
• Since it uses PSR-0, the icms autoloader works, and no specific includes or preloads are necessary

Initially I found that everything worked with the new WideImage library on ICMS 1.4.4 (max PHP is 7.4), but not in ICMS 2.0 with PHP 7.4. As it turns out, it was a preload method that was empty (icms_BootstrapEventHandler::backwardCompatibility). Adding a return value got it working on the 2.0.0RC branch (1.5.x) and PHP 7.4.

End result - all the functions work when using PHP 7.4. Switching to PHP 8.x results in failures when using the editor, whether it's crop, resize, or filter. Now, to figure out the PHP 8 issues.

It may, or may not, be something with the WideImage library. It may, or may not, be something with the image editor library. It may, or may not, be something with the core (the last issue was).

Another colleague has been helping me with this, as he now has some additional discretionary time. Hopefully, we'll figure this out soon.
