Printing using Bing Maps

Currently I am able to attach the Bing Maps background to my file .  The issue is I want to be able to clip, edit (contrast and brightness), and ultimately print the background map with my design overlayed.  Is there a way to clip the bing maps, or perhaps easily import it as a raster image?

    The only way I know of clipping Bing Maps imagery is to create a new dgn with Bing Maps turned on, referencing that dgn into your design dgn, and then clipping the new Bing Maps reference.

    The Bing Maps imagery is treated as a raster by the printer configuration, so you can control the brightness, quality, and contrast in the print dialog (Settings -> Raster Options). This has the unfortunate side-effect of applying to all raster images though.

    If you find a way of bringing Bing Maps as an editable raster image, I'd also like to know.
