Fireworks has come a long way from its roots as a screen graphics editor.
As Jim Babbage demonstrates in Fireworks CS4 Getting Started, the latest
release can serve as a rapid prototyping tool for a variety of uses
a central hub in the design and production workflow. Since Fireworks
is a hybrid imaging application, able to seamlessly mix vector and bitmap
images, layered Illustrator and Photoshop documents can be imported,
edited, and restructured. Jim shows how to customize the interface and
use layout tools like Smart Guides and the 9-Slice Scaling tool to quickly
position and align objects on the canvas. He also discusses a variety of
delivery options, including web-optimized graphics, interactive PDFs, AIR
prototypes, and standards-compliant CSS and HTML.
Example files accompany the course.
