BMP is the Windows standard format for bitmap graphics and can support an
alpha channel. FreeHand can import and transform BMP images, but you cannot
edit these images in FreeHand. However, you can edit imported bitmap images
using another application launched from FreeHand. You use the External Editor
feature to launch the external application. For information on cropping a bitmap
image, see "Cropping a bitmap image" on page 186.
