Fireworks 8 png image 160x400px

I created a button, used Alt and drag to create 5 vertical
buttons, yellow up, blue down. It's a png file that I will export
to Dreamweaver. In Properties, the Text option is greyed out. In my
'experimental' button, the Text option is available and I can
easily add text to the 5 buttons. Sadly my experimental one is not
the size or colors I actually want. What am I missing to get the
Text active?
thanks

Maybe you did something out of order. Go to this site and
view the tutorial called "button editor".

Convert fireworks *.PNG to Dreamweaver xhtml file???

I have a fireworks *.png image which I would like to export
into Dreamweaver MX. The fireworks artwork was provided by the
designer to use in a Dreamweaver based website. This *.png file
containes menues, images with their respective placeholders, text
blocks and other individual items that can and should remain
editable. I want to export the *.png into Dreamweaver and edit it
in Dreamweaver by changing fonts to text, moving around images and
frames, etc. Is this possible? So far, all I am getting is a flat
uneditable *.jpg or Html file with unselectable text and images. I
am obviously a beginner and would appreciate any direction. Thanks
in advance.

open the .png in Fireworks.
file-->Export Preview and follow the steps to export
"images and html"
that will give you an html file and images you then open in
dreamweaver.

You cannot do that kind of image editing in Dreamweaver. That
has to be
done in Fireworks. Here's a good tutorial on how it's done:

After installing Fireworks CS3, IE shows the download dialog instead of opening PNG images

After installing Fireworks CS3, when clicking a link to a PNG
image, IE displays a download dialog instead of opening the image.
I am not sure why Fireworks becomes the default file handlers of
PNG and GIF without asking or notifying the user during
installation, but I think this is the cause.
Does anybody know how to fix the problem?
Thanks,
Franklin Tse

Fireworks uses a form of .png as its native file format
(which many people find unfortuante) The Fireworks format includes
some additional information, allowed by the specification, so you
want to make sure that, if you want a .png for the Web, you
export from you Fireworks image, not just
save.
In any case you can re-associate the file types. Exactly how
you re-associate file types depends on your OS.
In Vista, right click on a .gif and select 'Properties.'
Under 'Type of file', click on the 'Change'
button and change the associate application. Make sure the
checkbox next to 'Always use the selected program to open this kind
of file' is checked.

Captivate 5 - Inserted PNG images from Fireworks are pixelated

The PNG images I inserted from Fireworks are showing up pixelated when I play the file in a browser, but look fine while I'm working in Captivate. Any thoughts?
THANKS!

Hello,
Did you try changing the publish quality? Because of the fact that CP when converting to SWF will still be doing some compression, I really would give that first of all a try.
PNG allows even partial transparency, and certainly its 24-bit version. That is one of the reasons that it is superior to JPEG (no transparency) and GIF (only 100% transparency). But I'm not really used to Fireworks, always using Photoshop for graphical assets.

Can't load PNG images in CS3

I'm unable to load PNG images using Photoshop CS3. Whenever I attempt to do so, I get a message saying, "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document."
Help on this matter would be much appreciated as I am fairly new to using Photoshop.

I am thinking it is a png file from fireworks.

Why aren't my FW (PNG) image are not showing up

Hey guys.
This is really bugging the hell out of me. I feel like I
can't move on until i can figure out why my PNG images are not
showing up in preview (F12). They did yesterday before I deleted
some pages and renamed old pages I no longer needed.
All my images that was done in FW are in my root folder in
the file panel. i didn't move any of those. When I double click on
the image to bring up the "select image source" in the URL it
starts off with two periods then a slash and then the name of where
it's located as well as the name of the image. The "relative to":
is site root. i didn't change any of these setting before I deleted
and renamed pages in my file panel.
Oh, and my Ap Divs show up in light gray boxes.
Please help!

Using .png images in a website?

Being new'ish to Fireworks and the .png format I am really amazed at the quality of png's in a webpage and how the hold their quality. In web design I tend to like placing text over images and this can often have quality issues as text tends not to work to well with a jpeg unless you increase the resolution before hand.
I have found that while I edit an image in FW and place text over an image if I then save as a jpeg the image may not be as clear as I would like, if I keep it as a .png the quality is perfect.
I know why this is but on doing some research have found that .png's are still not universally used across may web browsers and as a result it is advised not to use them.
Some forums say they are fine while others say the opposite in using 'png's in web design, does anyone have any thoughts on this?
I want to use .png's in my web design instead of jpegs but am undecided from what I read on the Internet so would appreciate any thoughts you may have regarding this.
Many thanks, Pete.

On PNG images:
When you "save" from Fireworks, the file contains extra information in the file header which is proprietary to FW. The file will be viewable in a browser, as browsers just ignore the extra information, but the file is larger than is needed for a Web page. To create a .png file for a browser, you want to "export." (I like using the Image Preview function, myself.) There is no difference in the file extension between a fully-editable FW document .png and a flattened exported .png. In a thread some time ago, a poster commented that he gave his Fireworks documents a .fw.png extension, and exported to the plain .png. I've tried to adopt that approach and I find it helps me keep better track of what's what in my folders. It's up to me to remember to do it, though.
Exported PNG images can be 32-bit, 24-bit or 8-bit. Here's the difference:
A 32-bit PNG will represent your FW document with transparency. All the objects will be flattened, of course, but transparent and partially transparent areas will be preserved. The file is 32-bit as you have 8-bits each for red, green, blue, and transparency. Eight bits of data gives you 256 values. (Note: Photoshop calls this a version of the format a 24-bit PNG with transparency.)
A 24-bit PNG does not have transparency. The 24 bits of data are 8-bits (256 values) for red, green, and blue. In this sense, it is similar to a JPEG, although you do not have the data loss or the color shifts.
An 8-bit PNG has 256 colors in a list. In a way, this is similar to a GIF image. The interesting thing about PNG8, however, is that colors in PNG8 in Fireworks can be semi-transparent. In a GIF, you have the option of selecting only one color to be fully transparent.
Using PNG images on the Web
You will want to export to PNG32, PNG24, or PNG8, as appropriate for your needs. Do not overwrite your Fireworks document! If you use Image Preview when exporting slices, and select a .png format, then that setting will be set for that slice. You can't select .png from the Property Inspector.
If you need to support Internet Explorer 6, you can use PNG24 with no problem. IE6 will render any semi-transparent areas of PNG32 or PNG8 images as fully transparent. To support PNG32 in your Web pages on IE6, you need to add special code. Even then, however, your visitors' browsers can lock up under circumstances that are not fully understood (http://blogs.cozi.com/tech/2008/03/transparent-pngs-can-deadlock-ie6.html). If you know your visitors won't be using IE6, or the content in the transparent PNGs is purely decorative, then maybe that's not an issue for you.
Here's a roundup of techniques for using transparent PNGs at Smashing Magazine:
http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2008/04/16/getting-creative-with-transparency-in-web-desig n/
File Size
Choose the best file type for the image you have. No one file type is always better. If you need to support IE6 still, and you can think of how to do your site without transparent PNGs, then the coding will be easier and the cross-browser compatibility will be better. If you use Image Preview (under the File menu item), you can change the quality level for JPEGs. The default level is 80%, which may not be a high enough quality level for a particular image. Higher quality means larger image size, but for photographic elements, a JPEG may still be smaller than a PNG for a given visual quality. It depends on the image content; each image is different.
Gradients and Banding
Fireworks creates strict numerical interpolations between the two colors you use for your gradients. If the colors are close together, you may not have enough intermediate colors to span the distance you want to cover and you will get bands. Photoshop produces what appear to be smoother gradients, because that application adds subtle noise into the gradient to prevent banding.
Indexed Palettes
If your image contains more than 256 colors and you select an image format with an indexed palette (GIF or PNG8), you may find that Fireworks produces a palette with fewer than 256 colors. This is a known "feature" of the program and there's no known workaround. If you decide to produce transparent PNG8 images, you need to be aware that this can happen.
And...that's all I can think of that touches on your issues.

How to export a PSD file with layers to Fireworks PNG file.

Hi
I've been asked by someone I'm working for to supply the work I've done as a PNG file that can be edited. I was told that a layered PSD file can be converted to a layered fireworks PNG file. I've tried all sorts of things but either ended up with a flattened image or each layer as a seperate file. I've searched all over for answers but nothing as yet!
thanks

Yes, individual PNG-24 files from Photoshop is what you want. In Photoshop, File>Scripts>Export Layers to Files; browse to save location; choose PNG-24 as the file type; check transparency. Prior to this, if you have floating imagery in any layers in the Photoshop file, you will want to place 1-pixel dots in 2 opposing image corners on those layers, so the all layer sizes will be exported at the same size, for layer-registration when composed in Fireworks. Then delete those dots in the exported PNG files and resave.
Then you will need to compose the layers in Fireworks. Once you get your individual layers in PNG format, you might want to pose this question in the Fireworks forum.

Finding original Fireworks .pngs from Dreamweaver?

I'm taking over another person's work and they built the
designs in Fireworks. I have an HR page that has photos that get
updated all the time (lots of turnover I guess) and I'm not really
a Fireworks guys (use Photoshop) and I've kinda figured out that
there is a ".mno" (I think that's what it is) file that stores the
metadata to show where the .gif or .jpg was made from the Fireworks
.png file.
I guess my question is, in matters of workflow, how do I
efficiently set up a .PNG file (from scratch) that saves its slices
in either .jpg or .gif, with the "here is the path to the original
.png" flag so when I come back to editing the .html in DW, I can
see a flag that says "find the original .png on Hard Drive 2"?
I just did a search on OSX Spotlight for the image file and
it came up with the same named file as .mno or something like that.
When I opened that as a text doc, it gave a path, which fortunately
helped me find the original .png this time, so I didn't need to
rebuild the image from scratch. I did this through the "back door"
of using OSX's search function.
There are times I'm so busy, I need to find stuff fast. How
do I find original .pngs from .jpg/.gif images made in Fireworks,
easily?
How do I set up a good workflow from FW to DW?
Thanks in advance,
nick

> How do I set up a good workflow from FW to DW?
Export the graphics from FW and place them on the page in DW.
Don't worry
about any more than that. Trying to use FW to write your HTML
gets everyone
into deep trouble.

Difference Between Fireworks PNG vs Flattened PNG?

Hello,
I want to save my image as a PNG, however, Fireworks gives me the option to save as a "Fireworks PNG" or as a "Flattened PNG". What is the difference?
Thanks in advance!

PNG file is basically a raster format but Fireworks png document still holds the vector information about objects. Another basic difference is the presence of information related to Layers, Pages and states present in Fireworks PNG files.

Fireworks PNG file

Hello...I'm trying to use Fireworks to create a PNG file for a tab bar icon. I create the image, save it and add it to my solution but the file does not appear.
I notice in Finder that the file type is a Firworks PNG file and not a regular PNG file. Research has told me there is a difference?
How do I save a Fireworks PNG file to a regular PNG file so I can use it in my application?
Thanks for your help.

Saving png images at 72 pixels resolution

Hi,
I have been creating images for our Flash designer, saving them in Fireworks as png images. We recently discovered that they are being saved at 71.89 pixles resolution, while in the Flash they need to be 72 pixels. To solve this problem the designer has to open the pngs in Photoshop and resave them as a png, which is a problem.
Is this difference in resolution due to both PhotoShop and Fireworks being different products and originally from different companys, or due to me working on a PC and our Flash designer working on a Mac.
Can I set Fireworks to save pngs by default at 72 pixles resolution so any further images I create work in our Flash movie?
Stephen

Hi,
I've just found out that the Flash designer is using Virtual Desktop on their mac, and doing their development in the virtual pc enviroment. Not sure if the Mac way of interpreting image resolutions is 'passed' to the virtual PC? My Fireworks is set up as 72 pixels/inches as the resolution so I think the mac/pc differences is still the cause of the problems.
Thanks
Stephen

hedger,
How do you expect anyone to help when we don't know a darned thing about the file, abut your setup, exact version of Photoshop and your OS, machine specs, etc.?
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.

How can I add .PNG images to templates without getting a white background?

I'm having problems with a image field when I add a .png image which doesnt have a background it is showing up with a white background. Is it possible to use images in templates so you can overlay them on something else?

Hi, You can do this but only with a PNG with a palette of 256 colors (maybe GIF as well) so doesn't get a lot of use, good enough for image buttons and the like, but might be ok for your image as it does not have that many colors. Otherwise radzmar's suggestion would be the better approach.
This is the link I was tring to find (in your previous thread) that tells how to do it using GIMP (a free image editor), http://smartforms.business.gov.au/DeveloperResources/Pages/HintsandTips.aspx , but the one I have uploaded here comes from photoshop (in photoshop it is called an indexed png).
