Choose Insert - Picture - From File. Select the file. In the File type box you can restrict the selection to certain file types. Click the Link box if you want a link to the original file. If the Link box is marked, whenever the document is updated and loaded the bitmap image is reloaded. The editing steps that you have carried out in the local copy of the image in the document are re-applied and the image is displayed. If the Link box is not marked, you are always working with the copy created when the graphic was first inserted. To embed graphics that were first inserted as links, go to Edit - Links and click the Break Link button. Click Open to insert the image. Editing Bitmaps When you select the bitmap image, the Picture Bar offers you the tools for editing the image. Only a local copy is edited in the document, even if you have inserted an image as a link. The Picture Bar may look slightly different depending to the module you are using. A number of filters are located on the Filter toolbar, which you can open with the icon on the Picture Bar. Some of the filters open a dialog, which you can use to select, for example, the intensity of the filter. In $[officename] Draw and $[officename] Image, you can add text and graphics, select these objects together with the bitmap, and export the selection as a new bitmap image. Saving Bitmaps If you want to save in a format such as GIF, JPEG or TIFF, you must select and export the bitmap image. This is only possible in $[officename] Draw and $[officename] Impress. Select the bitmap image. You can also select additional objects, such as text, to be exported with the image by pressing the shift key while selecting or by opening a selection frame around all objects. Choose File - Export. The Export dialog opens. In the File format field, select the file format you want, for example GIF or JPEG. If you only want to export the selected objects, mark the Selection box. If Selection is not marked, the entire page of the document is exported. Enter a name for the file and click Save.
