ACE 3000 should convert your bitmap to gerber fine work no matter if shading is used or not. The Bitmap import is primarily meant to handle bitmaps without color (i.e grayscale, black/white); since the resulting data formats GDSII, Gerber don't support colors (just polygons). I loaded the sample bitmap file you sent me into Windows program "Paint", and saved it back out as a monochrome bitmap. This file loaded fine (with shading) into ACE 3000.
Note: ACE 3000 will load any size bitmap (just make sure to choose "Large Bitmap" instead of "Image".
