Trying to placing clear cut tiffs over cropped tiffs in Freehand - please help!

Hi there,
I'd be extemely grateful if anyone out there can help me!  I'm having a little trouble with my freehand product catalogue.
I've managed to figure out how to import tiffs into freehand as clear cut images (which are my products) without the background showing.
And now I'm trying to lay some of those clear cut tiffs over simply cropped tiffs (which are just large photos).
This all looks fine until I export to PDF... now when I look at the pdf the large photo sitting under the clear cut product looks a bit wierd around the area of the clear cut product tiff.
Does anyone know why and what I can do about it?
I'm a little desperate!
thanks!

Are you mixing RGB and CMYK images or output?
If this catalogue intended for offset printing, then everything should be CMYK. If it's for web viewing, then everything should be RGB.
Freehand's PDF export is quite unreliable in the area of color handling. If the catalogue is for offset printing, then I strongly recommend that you print to a Postscript file and Distill with Acrobat Pro/Distiller. Alternately, you could open the file in Illustrator CS4 or later and save as PDF from there.
