Fireworks MX is an application for designing graphics to use on website
and web applications. By using Fireworks’ tools and features,
you are able to create and manipulate both vector and bitmap graphics
within a single file. Computer graphics fall into two main categories: bitmap and
vector. You
can work with both types of graphics in Fireworks. Understanding the
difference between the two helps as you create, edit, and import
artwork. Bitmap images use a grid of colors known as pixels to
represent images. Each pixel is assigned a specific location and color
value. Vector graphics are made up of lines and curves defined by
mathematical objects called vectors. Vectors describe an image
according to its geometric characteristics. Fireworks makes it easy to
optimize and prepare your graphic files for your web site. With
Fireworks, for example, you can shrink the size of web graphic files
without losing quality, so they download faster.
This is a 44-page Fireworks
MX Training Manual, hosted by Purdue University. It
will help you become proficient at using many of the important tools
and features that Fireworks offers. By using this training manual,
you’ll learn Fireworks concepts such as opening, importing, and saving
files, finding your way around the Fireworks environment, and working
within a file. You’ll also learn how to add Live Effects, use Filters,
work with Layers, create Slices, and optimize and export your graphic
and image files. (1.59mb, pdf format)
