In a previous posting, I mentioned my problems importing a large scanned
image in PICT format.  Chuq made the helpful suggestion to try using
TIFF format instead.  A followup call to Aldus produced the information
that, indeed, Freehand does not do well when it tries to read a large
bitmap in PICT format.  Apparently, Freehand has the notion that PICT
files are only going to be used to import relatively small object-drawing
type graphics, not huge bitmaps.

OK, so I was able to import the bitmap in TIFF format.  But now I have
another problem.  I scanned the image at 300 dpi.  But when the TIFF
file is opened in Freehand, it appears to be only about 75dpi, or perhaps
even worse.  Selecting "Best Quality" instead of "Faster" for the
screen display mode makes no difference.  The screen display of the bitmap
is so crude and pixelly that it is useless for my purposes.  (It's line
art, not a continuous tone image, BTW.)

Anyone else have a similar problem, or better yet, a solution?
