Well I work in the high-end film/animation industry and we use Gimp
and FilmGimp quite a bit.
I use OpenOffice (NeoOffice/J) variant under OS X most of the time,
but also under Linux (Gentoo).
I was a Photoshop user from the beginning, the beginning. I have
worked for many years in concert with Adobe, but about a decade ago I
just couldn't see a reason to continue. After PDF tech started
rolling I walked away with the realization that something better will
always be available. All the really great stuff that makes Photoshop
is present in Gimp and in truth nothing of the nonsense that is
indeed unnecessary. Photoshop 4.0 was the last version you ever
needed to have.
Another tremendously amazing tool for graphics is Zbrush. Not
OpenSource, but amazing tool.
That's just my view, but the cost of some software has far
outstripped it's usefulness.

Hi Linda,
This sounds like a strange problem. I cannot really offer you a
solution except to download another great open source tool call
"The GIMP" - it is for graphics manipulation ( http://
www.gimp.org ). In this tool you should be able to rotate theimage
(and do many other fancy things also) and then insert it into OOo.

This is a fortunate posting for me, as I had just re-installed
Adobe Photoshop 5.0.
I have discovered that Photoshop has been part of my freeze-up
problem ["Freezeup in 1.9.122 Writer"].
Thus, in seeing CPH's recommendation to Linda to try GIMP, I am
wondering if GIMP will take the place of Photoshop?
Particularly, I am committed to using its New Adjustment Layer >
Curves function. Do you know if that is reproduced in GIMP?
I would truly love to get out from under this high dollar and poor
fitting program -- I assume PShop works better on MAC than on Windows.
