Importing bitmaps to use as texture maps

Hi. I've been experimenting with importing bitmap images from Photoshop into Carrara and mapping them onto object surfaces (a plane for example). The images have text in them and the problem I am having is that the mapped images do not look sharp in Carrara. I have tried different export formats from Photoshop with varying resolutions and the different sampling options in Carrara with no improvement. By contrast, if I bring the same image into a program like Bryce and map it onto the side of a flattened cube the text is much sharper. Any suggestions, anyone?
