Photoshop and Open Office Impress

Question

Probably a stupid question and it's just 1 button I'm failing to hit. I'm trying to set up a presentation using OpenOffice Impress, using pictures that I have edited using PS, then saved as JPegs in a separate folder. When I drag the pictures into the blank slide, the picture is there just as it should be. However, even after saving the presentation as I go, some (not all) of the pictures will disappear. I think that Impress is reading the files as BitMaps, but I don't know how or why. Most of the pictures are shot in RAW.

I've had issues with (partly) disappearing images solved by turning on OpenGL in the Options:

Tools-->Options-->LibreOffice-->View: check Use OpenGL for all Rendering, and turn on Use Anti-Aliasing.

Another issue which has plagues Impress for years is that embedded graphics may get wonky and refuse to be displayed properly. Instead of copying/dragging images onto the slide, use the Insert-->Image option, and enable the Link option.

With linking you must ensure the presentation as well as the images are all self-contained in the same folder, and move this entire folder, otherwise the links to images may break.
