Importing images
A number of file types can be imported into FreeHand, but once imported, all are
treated as EPS images, TIFF images, or editable paths. For details, see your FreeHand
documentation.
When you import an EPS image into a document, FreeHand inserts a link to the
image rather than embedding the original file, resulting in a smaller file size. If the
image is a CMYK EPS file, the colors print just as they would from the originating
application.
NOTE: Before placing a CMYK EPS file, be sure the file was saved with Desktop Color
Separation (DCS) set to Off. If the file was saved with DCS activated, FreeHand prints
composites of the image at the low resolution used for screen viewing.
All RGB images placed in a document are affected by your RGB Source and Rendering
Style settings in the PPD. For best results with placed images, follow the instructions
in “Working with imported images” on page 4-33.
Saving files for importing into other documents
When saving files in FreeHand for importing into other types of documents, use the
EPS file format. FreeHand saves all color information in CMYK. The RGB Source and
Rendering Style print options have no effect on the color output of RGB artwork saved
in FreeHand and imported into other types of documents. In the case of FreeHand
files imported into Photoshop, however, vector data from the FreeHand file is
rasterized into bitmaps in Photoshop, and the final color space of the bitmap data is
determined by the color mode you set in Photoshop.
