 * I haven’t dug into exactly how the plugin works, but it seems to me that this
   is what is happening:
 * On crop, a new attachment is created that is flagged in some way as not being
   an original image (meta/post_parent presumably). This image does not appear in
   the media library and can only be edited on the edit view of the post that it
   was embedded in.
 * Presumably meta data (eg alt/caption) is copied from the original at this time,
   but when reading the new image, data from the original is not merged, so updates
   through the media library to the parent image do not transfer. This leads to 
   content management issues when the same image has been embedded in multiple places
   using AR crop, because each has their own alt tag and must be edited on different
   admin pages. I would recommend making the Image with AR Crop field pull meta 
   data such as alt/caption from the parent image, at least as a field config option.
