Killian,

you have to export as EPS from Freehand and then open from Photoshop as
EPS.  If you use the clipboard to copy-paste, you will usually have
unpredictable results.  Make sure when you import to Photoshop you have the
"anti-alias" box checked, as well as your color format (RGB, CMYK,
Grayscale or whatever.)

Let me know if this helped you in any way.
