s there a limit on the file size that ArchiCAD can managed?
But a 50MB bit-mapped image is HUGE. There are several ways to reduce it without compromizing it's content. You should be able to join all layers in Photoshop and then save it as a PDF or a TIFF before dragging it into Archicad. You could also test reducing it's resolution.
This should make the file more manageable for Archicad without changing it's appearance.

Are we still stuck on that 4048 pixels wide limitation?
It is very hit and miss for me. Dumbing down the resolution will eventually work...
Now... How about PDF inserted into a Layout (full size from consultant)... All look fine in the file, but some will just NOT PRINT... frustrating... Have to convert to TIFF then dumb down resolution to work.

If your not doing it already you might want to convert to 16 bit or higher and do as much as you can at that setting before messing with sizing.
Although going down in res usually is not a problem, it's only a one second switch, and you just might end up with a better final image.
And finally go back to all the simplification after that to get file size down again.
