		Apple Flatbed scanner
		Digital Darkroom
		FreeHand 2.02

Problem: I scanned a playing card to put into my FreeHand document. I used the
Line Art setting of AppleScan and saved as a TIFF file. After placing that
image into FreeHand, I selected Element Info and got the Image Control dialog
box. I checked Black and White and thus made the image transparent. For the
design I'm doing, the image needs to be transparent.
	I opened the same TIFF in Digital Darkroom. I altered it a bit to
acheive an artistic effect. I then saved as a TIFF file (8 bits). When I placed
that image into FreeHand, it was not transparent. Nor could I-even after
selecting the Black and White option in the Image Control Dialog-select the
Transparent option (it remained greyed out.)

What can I do to place the 8 bit Digital Darkroom-ed TIFF file into FreeHand so
that it is TRANSPARENT ?

Thanks,
