Envelope problems.

[Gale Coleman]

Hello all,

I just downloaded the trial version as suggested by someone in the fireworks
forum. I am trying to distort a gif that I have opened up in freehand. It
tells me to click modify/envelope/create. but when I do that, the create is
greyed out. Is it possible to use gif's this way to distort them?

You could try autotracing it. I don't think Freehand can create
envelopes for bitmaps but if you convert it into vectors you could
distort it that way. Or just bring it into Photoshop to do your
distortions :)
