FM will not import graphic properly

Question

Hello,I have a very simple full-page graphic that will not properly import into FM. The graphic started out as a Photoshop file and I have tried importing it into FM as a .jpg, a .psd and a .pdf. (This is a print job so I'm in CMYK and am not using png. ) When I try the .jpg or .psd import, the white gradient bar and logo disappear but the blue background color remains true. A .pdf import gets all the content but the background and the logo colors change by lightening up and becoming a lot more luminescent.  I flattened the Photoshop file before trying to import is as a native file into FM but that didn't work, and of course the jpg file doesn't have layers at all. The PDF file doesn't have layers either. What am I missing here? Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions!Bill

If the original PSD is CMYK, you might try saving as EPS and importing that.

The preview in FM will be ugly (bitmapped color & lo-res), but the .ps or .pdf output should be optimized.

Part of the problem here is that Windows doesn't really support CMYK, but it also doesn't grasp EPS, so EPS CMYK passes through into the output unmolested.
