MACROMEDIA FREEHAND 10-USING FREEHAND Use Manual page 125

You can import bitmap images from other applications that have been saved in the
TIFF, GIF, JPEG, PICT, PNG, Targa, BMP, and Photoshop (PSD) bitmap
formats.
In most cases, all bitmap formats behave in FreeHand exactly as TIFF images
behave. You can embed, extract, or change links to these files using the Links
dialog box.
FreeHand can apply some Photoshop plug-ins to bitmap files. However, once a
bitmap image has been modified with a plug-in, it is converted to a TIFF and is
embedded in the FreeHand document.
Note:
You can set preferences to display imported bitmap files at the highest resolution
available. For more information, see "Displaying imported TIFF files" on page 133.
You can set grayscale bitmaps to be transparent, where any white area is clear, and
edit the grayscale ramp. You can also apply a color to a black-and-white or
grayscale bitmap by assigning it a fill color.
