Re: [Finale] inserting .gif's

[dhbailey]

Using whatever graphics program you choose to convert the .gif to .tif, 
there should be an Options button in the save dialog which allows you to 
select the sort of compression you wish to use (or no compression, if 
you wish).  One of those compressions should say FAX.  If it isn't 
there, then simply save the .tif without any compression and it should 
import just fine.

Not a GIF, but you can insert a TIF or EPS. Select the Graphics tool 
and double-click in Page View where you want the graphic to appear.

The catch with TIF files is that they can't be saved with LZW 
compression, which is a common way of saving those files to save 
space. So you'll need to use a graphics program to make sure the TIF 
is saved as uncompressed.

(If your TIF is straight black and white, like a signature, you can 
also save it with Fax compression, which Finale will recognize. This 
helps keep the file size down.)

Aaron.
