LESSON 1: THE FIREWORKS ENVIRONMENT

OBJECTIVES

In this lesson you will learn:

• the differences between vector and bitmap graphics

• how to set up a Fireworks document

• how to use the Fireworks tools and palettes

• how to work with layers

CONTEXT: VECTOR AND PIXEL BASED IMAGES IN ONE ENVIRONMENT

Fireworks is both a vector graphics and a bitmap graphics application. Typically computer graphics are

one of two types: vector objects created in an application such as Macromedia FreeHand, and bitmap

images created in an application such as Adobe Photoshop.

Vector objects are composed of paths, and bitmap objects are composed of individual pixels. Fireworks

combines the organic look of bitmap objects with the flexibility, control, and editability of Bezier paths in

a single environment. In this lesson we’ll get acquainted with Fireworks’ interface, tools, and work

environment, and learn how to work with vector graphics and bitmaps at the same time.

EXERCISES

An Image with Vector and Bitmap Components

1 . Launch the Fireworks application.

2 . Choose File > Open from the menu bar and select 2type.png, which you will find inside the folder

“Lesson 1,” inside the folder “FWlessons” that you transferred from the CD-ROM.

3 . Click Open. The image you see in the document window has both a bitmap image (the butterfly) and

vector graphics (Figure 1-1).
