r.in.gif ? help converting gif into raster image?

[Andrew Sullivan]

Hi Everyone:
	Basic question here about importing a giff 8 bit image into grass
raster format.  Used xv to ensure image was required format, full color
and 8 bit (87), then r.in.gif and having problem with r.support
my image is N 450 W 0 S 0 E 307 and my 
defaults are N 4928000 W 590000 S 4914000 E 609000 
How do I adjust my image values to within the region so I can view this
image ...
Thanks for any help
Andrew
