Integrate Photo Center's focal point (and smart cropping) in the Author Service

We have somewhat revamped our site, with columnist headshots overlaid with a circular mask in certain spots.

Occasionally, the headshots are not centered. Sometimes, they are partially cut off.

It would be terrific if we could set a focal point on a headshot photo in Photo Center and have that apply to the headshot in Author Service.

As I understand it, smart cropping relies on focal point, so neither apply in the Author Service.

If focal points could carry over to Author Service, it would help us a great deal.

Thank you.
