Well, as Dov will tell you, PostScript emulation is not the same thing as
real PostScript and doesn't always behave the same. 

However, in some of the older versions of Frame (can't check, I'm on 5.5.6,
and working from memory), there was a Preferences setting that let you view
images as low-resolution bitmaps (I presume to make Frame work faster or
save RAM or speed draft printouts or all of the above). If you're using
5.1.x or lower, check for that preference and uncheck it if it's set. 

Your mileage may vary, this old Framer's memory is starting to fray.
