can't edit .jpg in Freehand 10... newbie ?

[CL328]

Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong:

1. open a .jpg in Freehand 10
2. the image is selected
3. right click and chose color control
4. I edit the colors, etc and image does not change


what gives?

I guess I need to do something or set something. If I start out with a blank page and add a box, etc. to the page... I then can edit the image via the color control???

THANKS

You need to place your jpeg file in Freehand. You cannot adjust your jpeg file in Freehand. If you have Photoshop you can color correct the image in Photoshop - - save - - open the Freehand file that you placed in Freehand -- your file will update in Freehand showing your changes that you did. If you need more info contact me.
