In Draw I can't get my images to rotate correctly - what am I doing wrong?

The shape of the image will rotate, but the picture remains upright within the rotated space - I want the picture rotated. I’m using the rotate button, what am I doing wrong?

I now realize part of the problem is that I started with one of my old Microsoft Publisher document. The old photographs from that document will not rotate properly, but photographs that I insert with LibreOffice will rotate properly. Any ideas on how to get the old images to rotate?

Hello,

Sounds like you want both items to rotate simultaneously. Hold down Shift key & select each item. Then release and proceed to rotate. All selected items will rotate together.
