 In the Gutenberg repo we have been tracking an issue focused on unifying
 the Gallery and Image editing experience. Currently, it's a bit
 disconnected from image settings and this ticket aims to change the
 Gallery block to create instances of image blocks rather than raw markup

 https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/11436

 From the issue:

 Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
 Single and gallery options should be similar to each other.
 I added one image to a gallery and want to resize it in a similar way to
 how I resize single images. Not possible. I want to add images by clicking
 the standard add image media library screen but it only says upload an
 image. It should be identical to the single image media selection options.

 Describe the solution you'd like
 I would like to see much more consistency between single image and gallery
 options. It should be very easy to go from one to the other with similar
 options. As one begins working with images an expectation is created that
 image options should be similar between various blocks that handle images.

 Single image options

 Gallery image options

 images.githubusercontent.com/5323259/47937047-dfe1f180-dedf-
 11e8-8b08-0db18edc2eb2.png)]]

 Single image upload media options:

 Gallery upload media options:

 Captions are also different from single images to the gallery.
 Top example shows the Gallery and bottom a single image.

 Btw
 It would also be very helpful to be able to rearrange the gallery images
 by using drag and drop.

Comment:

 I don't think images from GitHub can be embedded into a Trac ticket,
 because of cross-origin restrictions. The images in the ticket description
 aren't visible. See screenshot attached below. When you have a chance,
 would you mind re-embedding the images from another source (and with http,
 not https) or upload them to the ticket as attachments?

 On the other hand, I'm not sure why this ticket is on Trac. Shouldn't this
 issue be addressed in Gutenberg, on the linked issue
 https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/11436 ?
