I have repeatedly tried to insert graphics that have been saved as

No matter what, I still get a message saying Finale doesn't support
LZW compressed graphics. If I try resaving the graphic in
formats such as 8-bit, 256 colors, gray scale, etc., etc., it
doesn't seem to matter, and eventually Finale hangs.
Do any of you have any suggestions on this? (FinWin 2008)
Thanks in advance.

Are you ABSOLUTELY certain that they are really uncompressed? That
would be my first bet.
My second bet is that Finale is choking on your files in error.
Importing them into a different image editor and re-saving might
clean them up so Finale feels comfortable with them.
Have you been in contact with tech support about this? I have
basically given up on graphics because of the problems importing,
positioning and printing them to PDF or EPS. They should know in
detail what the problem is. Lean on them to come up with a solution,
because if the tech guys are wasting a lot of time dealing with a
bug, they will be more likely to fix it later. And who knows, they
might even have a solution!

(P.S., send one of the graphics along to me privately and I'll see if
I can import it into one of my files.)
