Importing from a digital camera or scanner You can import images from a digital camera or scanner only if it is TWAIN compliant (Windows) or uses built-in OS X Image Capture capability (Macintosh). Images imported into Fireworks from a digital camera or scanner open as new documents. Note: Fireworks cannot import from digital cameras or image scanners unless the appropriate software drivers, modules, and plug-ins have been installed. For specific instructions about installation, settings, and options, consult your camera or scanner documentation for the TWAIN module or Photoshop Acquire plug-in. On the Macintosh, Fireworks automatically looks for the Photoshop Acquire plug-ins in the Plug-ins folder within the Fireworks application folder. If you do not want to put the plug-ins there, you must point Fireworks to an alternative location. Note: The exact location of the Plug-ins folder varies depending on your operating system. For more information, see "Working with configuration files" on page 350. To direct Fireworks to Photoshop Acquire plug-ins: 1 In Fireworks, select Edit > Preferences.

2
Select Edit > Paste in Fireworks.
If the bitmap image on the Clipboard has a different resolution than the current document does, you see a dialog box
asking whether or not to resample.
3
Select one of the following:
Resample
maintains the original width and height of the pasted bitmap, adding or subtracting pixels as necessary.
Don’t Resample
maintains all the original pixels, which may make the relative size of the pasted image larger or
smaller than expected.
Importing PNG files
You can import Fireworks PNG files into the current layer of the active Fireworks document. Any hotspot objects
and slice objects are placed on the document’s Web Layer. For more information about slices and web objects, see
“Viewing and displaying slices and slice guides” on page 203. For more information about layers, see “Working with
layers” on page 159.
To import a PNG file into a Fireworks document layer:
1
In the Layers panel, select the layer into which you want to import the file.
2
Select File > Import to open the Import dialog box.
3
Navigate to the file to be imported and click Open.
4
On the canvas, position the import pointer where you want to place the upper left corner of the image.
5
Import the file:
Click to import the full-size image.
Drag the import pointer to resize the image as you import.
Fireworks retains the proportions of the image.
Importing from a digital camera or scanner
You can import images from a digital camera or scanner only if it is TWAIN compliant (Windows) or uses built-in
OS X Image Capture capability (Macintosh). Images imported into Fireworks from a digital camera or scanner open
as new documents.
Note:
Fireworks cannot import from digital cameras or image scanners unless the appropriate software drivers, modules,
and plug-ins have been installed. For specific instructions about installation, settings, and options, consult your camera
or scanner documentation for the TWAIN module or Photoshop Acquire plug-in.
On the Macintosh, Fireworks automatically looks for the Photoshop Acquire plug-ins in the Plug-ins folder within
the Fireworks application folder. If you do not want to put the plug-ins there, you must point Fireworks to an alter-
native location.
Note:
The exact location of the Plug-ins folder varies depending on your operating system. For more information, see
“Working with configuration files” on page 350.
To direct Fireworks to Photoshop Acquire plug-ins:
1
In Fireworks, select Edit > Preferences.
Note:
On Mac OS X, select Fireworks > Preferences.
2
Click the Folders tab.
