Chapter 3
- Fireworks allows you to import several types of files, as well as HTML tables.
- The term PPI stands for pixels per inch.
- Computer monitors have resolution settings that refer to how densely packed the pixels are on the screen.
- The lower the resolution of the computer monitor, the larger an image appears on screen.
- You can save and recall a bitmap selection, but only one selection at a time.
- You can use any transformation tool to rotate an object.
- You can use sizing handles to transform an object.
- The accuracy of the marquee drawn with the Lasso tool is linked to your tracing ability.
- Using commands on the Select menu, you can adjust a pixel selection after you create it.
- You can increase the magnification of any area on the canvas.
- The amount of magnification of the canvas is based on the size of the zoom selection box.
- The marquee and lasso tools select pixels by enclosing them.
- The Magic Wand tool includes edge and tolerance settings.
- The Magic Wand tool works well on areas of strongly defined color.
- Flattening and merging objects and layers helps to manage objects, layers, and file size.
- The Flatten Layers command results in a single layer.
- You can open the Hue/Saturation dialog box by clicking the Add Filters button on the Property inspector, pointing to Adjust Color, and then clicking Hue/Saturation.
- You can change the tolerance setting for the Magic Wand tool through the Property inspector.
- You can no longer edit individual objects after you merge them.
- For an image displayed on a computer screen, the unit of measurement is in PPI.
- The standard resolution setting for Web images is 72 PPI.
- A computer monitor set at a resolution of 1024 x 768 has 768 lines of pixels.
- Marquee selections are temporary areas of selected pixels that exist until you modify the pixels themselves.
- You can cut a pixel selection into the layer of a document by using the Bitmap via Cut command.
- You can press and hold [Shift] to constrain your rectangle or oval marquee to a square or circle.
- The Scale, Skew, and Distort tools are part of the transformation tool group.
- The Scale tool resizes an object
- The Skew tool slants an object along the horizontal or vertical axes.
- The Distort tool alters the size and proportion of an object and is useful for creating perspective in an object.
- When you select an object with any of the transformation tools, sizing handles surround the object.
- The rotation pointer appears when you position the pointer in between the sizing handles or outside the object.
- In Windows, pressing and holding [Alt] allows you to draw a marquee from the center point outward.
- In Windows, you can press and hold [Alt] to scale an object from its center.
- If you are copying a bitmap selection that has a print resolution that differs from the document into which you want to paste, resampling the bitmap will preserve the selection’s original dimensions.
- Using the lasso tools, you can define an exact pixel selection with precision.
- To add pixels to an existing lasso selection, press and hold [Shift], and then drag a new marquee.
- In Windows, to subtract pixels from a marquee, press and hold [Alt]; Fireworks deletes the areas where the marquees overlap.
- In Macintosh, to subtract pixels from a marquee, press and hold [option]; Fireworks deletes the areas where the marquees overlap.
- In Windows, to select just the intersection of two marquees, create the first marquee, press and hold [Shift][Alt], and then create the second marquee.In Macintosh, to select just the intersection of two marquees, create the first marquee, press and hold [Shift][option], and then create the second marquee.
- Pressing [Shift] as you use the Polygon Lasso tool constrains the lines that you can draw to 45-degree angle increments.
- The Zoom tool is found on the Tools panel.
- You can change the pointer of most tools to a crosshair by pressing [Caps Lock].
- In Windows, to zoom out of a selection, press and hold [Alt], and then click the canvas.
- In Macintosh, to zoom out of a selection, press and hold [option], and then click the canvas.
- You can remove a marquee by pressing [Esc].
- The Restore Bitmap Selection command is found on the Select menu.
- To open the Numeric Transform dialog box, click Modify on the menu bar, point to Transform, and then click Numeric Transform.
- Tolerance refers to the range of colors the Magic Wand tool will select.
- You can add pixels to a Magic Wand selection by pressing and holding [Shift].
- The Preferences dialog box is opened from the Edit menu.
- For a vector-based file, you can select options for importing the file in the Vector File Options dialog box.
- When you select pixels on an image, Fireworks creates a flashing perimeter, known as a(n) marquee selection, around the pixels.
- The Bitmap via Cut command is found on the Edit menu.
- If you select pixels and then click the Bitmap via Cut command, Fireworks cuts the selected pixels from the original bitmap and then pastes them as a new object on the active layer.
- When you create a bitmap using the Bitmap via Copy command, Fireworks copies the selected pixels and pastes them as a new object on the active layer.
- The Fixed Ratio style is used to constrain the height and width of a marquee to a precise ratio.
- The Fixed Size style is used to set the marquee to an exact dimension.
- The transformation tool pointer appears when you position the pointer over a sizing handle.
- The Marquee tool is found on the Tools panel.
- In Macintosh, pressing and holding [options]Iallows you to draw a marquee from the center point outward.
- To use the Bitmap Via Copy command, click Edit on the menu bar, point to Insert, and then click Bitmap Via Copy.
- In Macintosh, you can press and hold options to scale an object from its center.
- The Scale tool is found on the Tools panel.
- The Pointer tool is found on the Tools panel.
- If the bitmap selection you are copying has a print resolution that differs from the document into which you want to paste, a(n) Resampling dialog box opens.
- The marquee tools select an area of pixels in a preset shape.
- With the Polygon Lasso tool, you create your marquee by clicking the mouse as you go along.
- The Select Inverse command selects all of the pixels except the ones enclosed by the marquee.
- The Expand Marquee command allows you to enter the number of pixels that add to the selection’s border.
- The Contract Marquee command allows you to enter the number of pixels that subtract from the selection’s border.
- After you have created a marquee, you can use the Save Bitmap Selection command to save it.
- After you have created a marquee, you can use the Restore Bitmap Selection command to recall it at any time during the current editing session or after the file has been saved, closed, and reopened.
- To change the magnification of the canvas in preset increments, click the Zoom tool on the canvas.
- To change the magnification of the canvas in preset increments, click a magnification setting in the Set magnification pop-up menu on the bottom of the Document window.
- To set a magnification between 6% and 6400%, use the Zoom tool to drag a(n) zoom selection box on the canvas.
- The Expand Marquee command is found on the select menu.
- If the Smooth Marquee command is used, Fireworks removes pixels to smooth out the jagged points on the marquee.
- You can hide the marquee display by clicking the Hide Edges command on the View menu.
- In the Numeric Transform dialog box, you can scale an object by a percentage, resize it by pixels, or rotate the object.
- The Select Similar command is found on the Select menu.
- The Merge Down command merges selected objects with the bitmap object that lies beneath the lowest selected object.
- The Flatten Selection command on the Modify menu flattens two or more objects, even if they are on different layers, converting them to bitmap objects.
- If you want to move all your objects to a single layer and remove all other layers, you can use the Flatten Layers command.
- The Magic Wand tool is located on the Tools panel.
- Using commands on the Select menu, you can edit the set of selected pixels, or add pixels to or subtract pixels from the selection marquee.
- Computer monitors have resolution settings that refer to the number of pixels contained across the horizontal and vertical axes.
