When you insert a new image or select one already present in the document, the Picture toolbar appears. This toolbar can be either floating or docked. shows what the Picture toolbar looks like when it is floating. Two other toolbars can be opened from this one: the Graphic Filter toolbar, which can be torn off and placed elsewhere on the window and the Color toolbar, which opens as a separate floating toolbar.
From these toolbars, you can apply small corrections to the graphic or obtain special effects.
For more sophisticated adjustments, it is better to use an image manipulation program, such as GIMP. GIMP is an open-source graphics program which can be downloaded from http://www.gimp.org/downloads/. |
You can find out more information about the graphic filter and what its elements do by selecting the Find tab in Help (Help > OpenOffice.org Help), pressing the F1 key, or by clicking on an element that has a dialog box and selecting Help. Then, type Graphic Filter Bar into the Search term text box and press Find.
