- 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.
