"Image" options in Properties disappears if I intersect an image with a shape

[MoshiMotsu]

After I crop an image using a shape and the intersect tool, I am no longer able to edit it as an image (e.g. apply a grayscale filter to it). Here are the Properties before the crop:

And here are the Properties after the crop:

Notice, in particular, the stark lack of the “Images” dropdown under “columns.”

Is this something I can address with some other way of cropping images? Is this something I should file a bug report for? It’s feels a bit related to my other Issue about cropping with shapes, so I’m worried it might just be a bug.

LibreOffice Draw has only limited possibilities and is not an image editing program.

No.

You have intersected a shape with an image so you get a shape with a bitmap fill, not a bitmap.
To get the Image options you need to click Shape > Convert > To Bitmap

… or you cut the intersected shape and (Paste Special) and paste it as a bitmap.
