USING FIREWORKS CS4 281 Preferences and keyboard shortcuts Photoshop Import and open preferences These preferences determine how Fireworks behaves when you import or open Photoshop files. For more information, see "Working with Photoshop" on page 257. Show Import Dialog Box Displays options when you import PSD files using the File > Import command. Show Open Dialog Box Displays options when you drag PSD files into Fireworks or use the File > Open command. Share Layers Between States Adds each imported layer to all states in the Fireworks file. If this option is deselected, Fireworks adds each layer to a separate state. This is useful when you import files you want to use as animations. Bitmap Images With Editable Effects Allows editing the effects on the bitmap images when importing. Bitmap images cannot be edited. Flattened Bitmap Images Imports the bitmap images and their effects as flattened images which cannot be edited. Editable Text Imports the text layers as editable text. You cannot change the text formatting such as strikethrough, superscript, subscript, and autohyphenation in Fireworks. Also, you cannot separate ligatures in the source text. Flattened Bitmap Images Imports the text layers as flattened images that cannot be edited. Editable Paths And Effects Allows editing on the shape layers and related effects. Flattened Bitmap Images Imports the shape layers as flattened images that cannot be edited. Flattened Bitmap Images With Editable Effects Imports the shape layers as flattened images but allows editing the effects associated with them. Layer Effects Replaces Photoshop Live Effects with similar Fireworks filters. Clipping Path Masks Rasterizes and removes clipping masks, maintaining their appearance. Deselect this option if you want to edit these masks in Fireworks. However, the appearance varies from Photoshop. Launch and Edit preferences Launch-and-edit preferences control how external applications launch and edit graphics in Fireworks. 1 Choose either of the following pop-up menus: When Editing From External Application Determines whether the original Fireworks PNG file opens when you use Fireworks to edit images from within other applications. When Optimizing From External Application Determines whether the original Fireworks PNG file opens when you optimize a graphic. This setting does not apply to Director, which always automatically opens and optimizes a graphic without asking for a source PNG, even if you set this preference differently in Fireworks. 2 Specify how to edit Fireworks images placed in external applications: Always Use Source PNG Automatically opens the Fireworks PNG file that is defined in the Design Note as the source for the placed image. Updates are made to both the source PNG and its corresponding placed image. Never Use Source PNG Automatically opens the placed Fireworks image, regardless of whether a source PNG file exists. Updates are made only to the placed image. Ask When Launching Lets you specify each time whether to open the source PNG file. When you edit or optimize a placed image, Fireworks prompts you to make a launch-and-edit decision. You can also specify global launchand-edit preferences from this prompt. Last updated 3/8/2011
