If anyone has a clue here, please help!
I don't think that this FR Atlas program is being distributed for free now, so I can't really check, nor would others be able to... but their FAQ states:

Can I export maps?
Yes. You can export maps as a high resolution bitmap. Bitmaps are easily converted into other raster-based images such as GIFs and JPEGs.

So if you export maps, then the GIMP should be able to open the resulting file if you i.e. drag and drop it into it.
I wish it were that easy. The help files say that I can set a custom map resolution at which to export to the clipboard, which never seems to "catch" any actual data. Tried about ten ways, only way I can still see as feasible is getting some sort of "fake printer driver that is really a .tga generator" type of widget going. Anyone know of one of those? Might come out pretty well antialiased to boot.
