Hi. I'm at a loss...please help! I'm working on a multi-page document in Freehand 9 w/color ads on each page. I have imported some art into FH and the images appear kind of faded or ghosted. The only way to see them clearly is using the Flash Preview option. They will not print preview, nor print. PLEASE help! :o)

what type of files are you importing, this information will help greatly in solving this problem.

Answer freehand 9 should utilize the tiffs perfectly, you may want to convert jpgs over to tiffs, make sure that all images are bright and color full in photshop before you import them in. i just went back into fh9, been awhile since i have run that version, but none of the preference setting need to be altered. so my only suggestion is at this point is high res images with the colors intensified in photoshop. in all the years i have run freehand i have never had this problem except occasionally with eps files and images that are just subpar before pulling into the freehand. i really hope this helps, i have found illustrator loves eps's and freehand loves tiffs, neither really loves jpgs. and i always print directly from freehand, all the exporting to other software forms always brings up issues of what supports what filters and file types.
