Help!
I working on a colour figure for an annual report and I am using Freehand 3.0
for the work. I am importing images from three different sources: a colour
gif image converted to eps and imported to Freehand, a PICT plot from Igor
(B/W) and a colour raster image from Spyglass Format, imported using copy
& paste.
When I print this combination to Postscript laser printer, the eps image is
printed in colour, but the imported Spyglass Format image is printed as
greyscale, although it shows in colour on the screen.
I have tried to bring this Format image to Freehand with multiple methods:
1. copy in Format, paste to Freehand
2. save as PICT2 in Format, import/place in Freehand
3. copy canvas in Format, paste to Freehand
Only method 3 works properly, in method 2 the image does not even show up
in Freehand.
Does anyone out there have any ideas, how to get the Format image to print
in colour? Is there some setting in the Freehand that I am omitting?
Is there perhaps a PICT2-> eps converter available someplace that I could
use, since the eps imported image prints just fine?
Please reply by e-mail, since I do not read this group regularly.
