    I usually load the file onto a bsm and place it at the board level,
this also allows you to put it in a library
    for future use. Also allows for easy movement.

I agree with George.  The lines are annoying especially if you have to
move the image.

RATA can work as a base, but I would avoid using RATA's lined graphics
in the actual database database.

        The RATA program Mike F. is talking about will convert a .bmp to
a .plt file, but the results can be...    disappointing.  Be prepared to
do a bit of work once you have it imported.
         
        Here is an example of such an import after massaging it:
         
        
         
        All the lines tend to blend together during the etch process,
but it looks a bit ugly when looking at it on the screen :)

        I seem to remember that somewhere there was a way to convert a
bmp file into something that Allegro could read in, and use on a board.
Does anyone have an idea how this is accomplished?
