In fact the current "Edit with External Tool..." option seems like an incomplete work. Even if you do Edit the image with the external program, you will have to reinsert the edited image manually because simply closing the external editor will not do that (as seems to be implied by the menu option). Therefore you have two options: you could consider this a Bug and request the menu option to be renamed to the more accurate text "Open with associated external program" OR you could do an Enhancement Request and ask the developers to add an option to LibreOffice where the user defines the path to an external editor (e.g. Gimp) which is actually used for editing. Of course the second option involves a lot more work because it not only requires to add that option to the Options dialog but would also require that after editing the image, the modified image would be updated in the document... Curiously having an "Edit with External Tool..." option would seem that there should be an Edit option (where LibreOffice's own Draw would used as the logical Internal Tool) Maybe in the future? In any case, the place to report bugs or request enhancements is at https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=LibreOffice Hope this helps...
