IN microsoft publisher there is a feature which makes cropping and rotating of 
images a breeze. In 
OO.o it is very difficult to achieve good results as these features are not 
included in all the 
relevant programs (writer, presenter and paint)and especially the cropping part 
is very 
difficult to do in a convinient manner due to the small preview. 
So what would be a nice way to do 
this? Well as I said: Publisher does in the following manner (I seem to 
remember) After having 
clicked an image I have the usual rezize arrows popping up when I point at the 
edges. If I do it with 
'ctrl' pressed I get an rotating arrow indicating that I can rotate the image 
and if I press the 
'alt' key I get a scissor indicating that I can crop the image instead of 
resizing it. 
This is in my 
opinion one of the most awkward things to do in OO.o, improving  this would 
give me a far faster 
program to work with!

In Powerpoint there is a Crop icon. 
After clicking it the handlers of selected image change and can then 
be used to scale the frame of the image instead of scaling the image 
itself. 
 
It works, is well known by Powerpoint users and doesn't require one 
to memorize modifier keys (allthough being able to use modifier keys 
for fast access is nice.) 
 
Anyway, it's very important that any kind of cropping snaps to grid 
and guidelines for serious layout work.

The method in OOo is a real pain.  About 30 minutes to get one graphic to fit a
document last week.  I would end up cutting to much or to little.

It would be nice if OOo could be configured to open an external graphics program
as an option.

Also, since picture cropping is applicable in the whole suite, I don't believe
'Word Processor' is the correct component. Cheers, Andrew.

Really nice to see the crop feature being worked on.

Just a small additional wish: I would like to see the current dimension of the
crop selection (in pixels or some other unit) displayed in the status bar (or
somewhere else, e.g. like a tool-tip when the mouse button is held pressed).

It is sometimes important to crop the exact dimension, and this dynamic feature
has the advantage of being faster than the dialog. So it makes sense to see the
crop dimensions, too.

Writer already has a "flip orizzontally" and a" flip vertically" buttons for 
images inserted in the document. 

i think that it would be very nice to have a "rotate image 90° left" and a 
"rotate image 90° right" buttons as well.

rotate button

crop
Klicking on it will generate the ability to crop the picture by sliding the
sides with the mouse

Compress
Klicking on will give the user the ability to lower the resolution of the

Keep in mind that Sun has made an extension for this purpose "minimise

good print quality

The drawing toolbar should be expanded with a rotate button with the

In OOo 2.4, Writer CAN NOT correctly import a MS Word file containing rotated

If you are assessing whether OpenOffice.org can be applied in your company, but
are stuck on one issue such as this, why not consider how much you might spend
on the licensing of a proprietary product, the development of which you, most
likely, CANNOT influence.

For less than that same budget, you could offer a bounty to a developer who
first implements (and is credited in the source code) with this feature - or
better still, implements an improvement upon the original concept.  One
commercial benefit of OpenOffice.org is that you CAN influence its development,
to better align it to your business needs.

By all means I did not intend to be offensive. I am sorry if some people felt 
it was!

But the thing is that (like in many companies) most employees are not PC 
enthousiasts but just regular users. For them it is already good when they see 
Word and Excel, when they see something else they will need to be convinced 
that it is good! The funny thing is that images are important for user manuals 
and spare part books. That's why I started looking for the rotate function 
immediately...

B.t.w. it is not a matter of costs since the whole company works with MS 
Office already... But I do see serious advantages in Open Source and 
especially Open Office!

Thank MDA, version 3.2 sounds very good! Misterdee: this 'bounty' idea could 
be interesting as well, but I'd rather suggest a community donation to the 
management.

Once again; I did not mean to be offensive, I just explained the situation for 
me and my company. I suppose it was a bit too direct. My sincere apologies for 
that!

@tommy27: At times, OOo 3.2 is scheduled for August 2009.

For OOo 3.1, the release overview looks like this:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/OOoRelease31

For OOo 3.2, a corresponding overview does not yet exist because the "fine
planning" can not be made yet.

It seems like we could just automate the process of embedding a new Draw object 
and pasting the image 
into it. For example, if the user selects Insert > Picture > From file... , we 
insert a Draw-type OLE object of 
the same size as the picture, then insert their picture into it. If they Paste 
the image, we do the same. That 
would save on the duplication of effort and make Draw's powerful image 
manipulation tools conveniently 
available.

Yes, I guess so. But then still the user has to leave the object after having
rotated the image, and maybe has to resize the ole object.
It will only be a partial work around. So I keep my fingers crossed for 3.2 :-)

There is currently planning in progress to replace the Writer specific graphic
implementation by the Draw graphic implementation. When this is done graphics
can be easily cropped and/or rotated directly in Writer.
Thus, there will be no special effort being made for this issue, but this issue
will be solved when the replacement has been made.

When the issue for the replacement is known, I will depend this issue on
it.

Hi Armin,

but the problem ist, that it work only for DrawingLayer shapes! The user is not
aware that there are diffrent types of graphics in Writer.

>From the user interface standpoint, the available actions for any graphic

be the same, independend if it's a single Shape from the drawing toolbar, an
embedded Draw graphic, an inserted GDI Metafile or an inserted Bitmap. At least
the basic operations like Scaling, Rotating and Positioning should work the same
way for all of them!

Best Regards,
Jörg

Please reconsider, and find time for this.

Such a feature would really help OpenOffice, most of its releases contain many 
features that most users wont ever use.

But this is a feature that anyone migrating from Microsoft office will need.
Especilly if he has a document with rotated images which then makes him return 
to Microsoft office.

Its sad that many features in Feature requests in openoffice get pushed away 
for less important ones or having a release with no serious feature development 
because of bug fixing.

I think it would be better to add this button to Image toolbar by default.  
Also it would be useful to add the buttons of simple rotation (+/-90°).

Maybe there is such extension for cropping images? If not, can someone
create it?
