Suggestion: Advanced Image Formatting Tools

Suggestions Document editor
1

Dear OnlyOffice Team,

I would like to suggest implementing advanced image formatting tools in the document editor, similar to those available in Microsoft Word.

Specifically, it would be very useful to:

  • Apply selective desaturation to images, allowing colored logos to be converted to grayscale versions.
  • Adjust image transparency to use them as subtle watermarks.
  • Apply blending effects to better integrate images with the document background.

I believe these features would be extremely valuable for corporate users and professionals who rely on OnlyOffice in business environments.

Thank you for considering this suggestion. I am happy to provide further details or help test these functionalities if implemented.

Sincerely,
Gabriel Belo

Hello,
Thank you for sharing your ideas! As for the third suggestion concerning blending effects - can you explain in more detail what is needed? (It would be perfect if you provided some documentation for the needed features)

Hello DmitriiV,

Thank you for your follow-up. I would like to provide more detailed information about the blending effects suggestion, as well as additional related image formatting improvements.

The goal is to provide advanced image formatting tools in OnlyOffice, allowing precise and customizable adjustments similar to Microsoft Word. Here is a detailed explanation of the blending effects and related functionalities:

  1. Blending Effects
  • Blending effects would allow images to merge smoothly with the document background.
  • This includes adjusting opacity and blending modes such as multiply, overlay, lighten, and darken.
  • Example use cases:
    • Inserting a corporate logo as a subtle watermark without modifying the original image externally.
    • Integrating images into colored or patterned backgrounds seamlessly.
  1. Color, Contrast, and Saturation Control
  • Fine-tuned adjustments for brightness, contrast, saturation, and hue, allowing full customization.
  • Ability to apply selective desaturation or adjust specific tones, useful for logos or brand materials.
  1. Borders, Layouts, and Presets
  • Customizable borders (thickness, color, style).
  • Predefined layouts, such as centered, corner placement, text wrapping, or watermark style.
  • Quick style presets like “Subtle Image,” “Highlighted Image,” or “Corporate Watermark.”
  1. Additional Effects
  • Minor shadow, glow, or outline effects for professional enhancement.
  • Visual filters to simulate different materials or tones without modifying the original file.

These tools would provide users with full control over image appearance within documents, making it easier to create professional-looking documents without relying on external editors.

Thank you for considering this suggestion.

Best regards,
Gabriel Belo

Hello,
Please provide documentation describing each feature separately, so we do not get confused about what you are actually referring to, or screenshots from another Editor showing each particular feature.
In fact, you have submitted not just a single suggestion, but a large number of them, and it is easy to get confused here.

Oh sorry, it would be something like this, I’ll send you the links to the sites that have the images of what I’m suggesting:

Hello @GabrielBelo

Thank you for the reference links. I’d like to note that your previous comment suggests several features. May I ask you to create separate topics for each of them? I’d be much easier to process each feature as a separate suggestion and also will provide better searching options for community members, who also have interest in certain enhancements.
