Fireworks cs5 slicing images issue

when i go to export images only to be sliced and i have those images selected, and i press "export," nothing. nothing appears in my folder as it would with photoshop. why can i not export images only? i've tried every possible setting in the export dialog box, and maybe it isn't exporting any of my selected slices!

Well I'm glad you're having fun.
You have multiple overlapping slices, some of which are only one pixel in size. Slices should not overlap. It causes nothing but problems. That, tied in with the fact that you have one huge slice covering all your other slices, is what's causing the issue. Remove (not hide - remove) overlapping slices or edit the existing slices so they do not overlap.
When I did this and exported the files, I was successful.

PS CS5 importing images issue!

Hi folks,
i got a problem with ps cs5.
I opened an 300 DPI A5 document and started to design it out.
After some time i wanted to import some of my .png files into the composition.
But then it happend, Photoshop boosted the size up of my image... its an 72DPI PNG and the old
PS CS4 used to resize it correctly and I just could start to work with the original size of that image.
for now I am very unhappy about this issue because I have to resize all those images again by hand.
That means I lose quality and it takes a lot of time.
Would be great if someone could tell me if I can workaround that problem somehow.
thank you!
Pete

I can only imagine that Adobe got feature suggestions from people claiming that when they placed their different images together they would rather have automatic resizing per the ppi value, and not hearing praise from people like you just expecting a pixel to remain a pixel, they changed it without an option to keep it the old way. I had high hopes that that checkbox in preferences would get you the older functionality back, but alas it isn't so.
What is that [ ] Resize Image During Place checkbox supposed to do anyway, if not this? A quick glance Help doesn't turn up much on this setting. Maybe it's buried in there somewhere, but it's not popping out.
I even tried placing images using all the combinations of modifyer keys I could think of. That would have been a nice touch, but nope, it didn't work.
A while back I started a thread in which I ended up actually catching some flak for asking that every change in user functionality be accompanied by a setting that allowed users to have things the old way if they desired. This kind of situation is exactly what I had in mind, but people apparently have trouble thinking at this level.

Slicing image issue when using "save for web"

Keep in mind I am a newbi to photoshop and these forums. I am currently having an issue with using the slice tool when trying to save the image in html format. I have my image completed and when I use the "save for web" feature, it comes up just fine. Then I click the slice tool on the tool bar on the left, and try to drag over the area that I want to slice and it wont work. Currently, every time I try to use the save for when feature, the new box pops up and shows my image with a 1 and a symbol on the top left of the image like the whole image is already made into a slice. The only thing I can do is left click and hold to drag the transparent box to where I want to slice the image, and when I let go, the image does not slice. Any help would be great!

Completely wrong workflow. See the online help on the slice tool.

Why does Fireworks CS5 keep resizing images when I paste them?

I am having a problem in Fireworks CS5 where images that are copied and then pasted into a new document automatically re-size and become either very tiny or very large.
I have taken some screenshots to show this more clearly: (this website only allows me to upload images of 450 pixels across so they are not too clear)
Image 1: I have taken a large image and reduced its size to 100x100 pixels (highlighted in red).
Image 2: I have created a new document which is 100x100 pixels in size.
Image 3: I have copied the image from Image 1 (control + C) and then pasted it into Image 2 (control + V). The image was 100x100 and the new image was 100x100 yet when I paste the image it suddenly becomes 313x313 in size and is too large for the new image. Sometimes it becomes tiny when pasted and is too small for the document.
Can anyone help with this matter? Perhaps I am missing something obvious, but I have tried searching for solutions and tried a range of methods (different kinds of copy and paste etc), but nothing seems to help. Please let me know what I am missing!
Thank you for your help! As I said I am using Fireworks CS5. I am using Windows 7. If there is anything else you want to know just let me know.

I don't know what could be causing the copy/paste resizing issue, but here are a couple of ideas that may help with your workflow:
You can create a new document for animation by choosing File > Open..., selecting multiple images, and clicking the "Open as Animation" option. This will place each image file into its own State.
Consider using commands from the States panel fly-out menu—e.g., Duplicate State, Copy to States, etc.—to move objects from one state to another.
Other commands to copy objects within Fireworks include Edit > Duplicate and Edit > Clone. These do not involve the clipboard and may sidestep the resizing problem.
Sometimes with bitmaps, I like to convert them to symbols, as it allows me to resize the bitmap freely without losing the original resolution. (This might introduce extra steps, but it could allow you to correct the image size after it's been pasted incorrectly.)
It's a longshot, but I wonder if it would help to empty the clipboard contents once in a while, to clear out old data.

Fireworks CS5 "automatically" resizes images to minuscule dimensions

I am having an odd issue in working with Fireworks PNGs from one of my subject matter experts. We have been using Fireworks since around 2000 so it's nothing new to us and it's been used in tens of thousands of images (we deliver eLearning to 70,000 people per year in 130 countries). We have 10 users and have been using it over a series of Windows machines over the years.
We use CS5 with Flash, Dreamweaver, and Fireworks and typically it all runs very smoothly. But a few months ago I would open one of her PNGs (layered, etc) and whether I made any changes or not when I re-open it it has been resampled to very small dimensions. For example, a 600 by 400 pixel image will display as 16 by 15 pixels.
This would happen with any of her images on several machines at work (*** CS5) and my home machine (CS5.5).
We had IT remove and then reinstall Fireworks CS5 on her machine and all was fine for two months. Now this weird thing is happening again. It must be some local configuration file that is getting altered. I am at my wit's end trying to solve this and the only workaround I have is to open her files in Photoshop which works fine (but is not ideal since only two MMDs have PS and we need to edit callouts done in Fireworks).
To recap - I open one of her images, close it, and reopen it and it resamples to very small and unsuable dimensions.
Has anyone ever seen this odd behavior?
Is there a config file I can delete and let the system rebuild? (I remember some flash issue, years ago, that was fixed like that).
Thanks!

Excellent questions! Thanks for your left-field ideas - this is a left-field issue!
They seem to resize when closed but even if they are simply opened and closed without any changes and thus without actually saving. They do seem to always go down to the same size (not in proportion) and would be too small even as thumbnails (that was a good thought though).
It may be indirectly due to Fireworks and be some combination of the operating system and/or other applications she may have installed such as Snag-It because a full uninstallation and installation of Fireworks takes care of the issue. It has happened twice and here's hoping it does not happen again.
Saving the files as new files does not seem to help - she'll take her screenshots, paste them into Fireworks and then save the file to a remote server. I can open them from the server or take a copy locally, both result in the miniscule image after closing them. But only with her files. We have images from four other SMEs that don't do this "thing".
If it happens again, I will more carefully observe the particulars you asked about.
Thank you for your time and food for thought - I like left-field ideas - that's how we create new things in this world! =)

Using thickbox-gallery extension in DWCS6 for webpages sliced in fireworks CS5

After designing my webpages in Fireworks CS5, I have exported them into Dream weaver CS6 but I can't seem to place the "thickbox" extension for my gallery in an aligned manner. in order words it has refused to position itself horizontally from left to right of my page.
Please can anyone help me in this regards.
Thank you so much in anticipation.

Thank you @Ken for your info, Thank you Nancy for your info too, please how do I install the fancybox add on which you suggested into Dreamweaver?
Meanwhile I'm happy to inform you that I figured out a way to solve the problem I reported here. The process is as follows:-
When you add the "thickbox" gallery and you want to make it align horizontally from the left to the right. First off, select the "gallery" (usually the 2 default thumb nails/galleries) you added, simply go to your "CSS Styles" panel and under "Current" tab. Add the "Display" property and then on the right, change its attribute from anything it is to "inline". At the instance, the "thickbox" gallery changes alignment in a landscape manner and positions itself from left to right. You could also try out other possible "attributes" of "Display" to see the one that could also give you what you want or same result. Once you're happy, you could go ahead to swap your thumbnail images and populating your galleries.
It took quite some time to discover this.
Thank you once again everyone for the effort.

Issue with Fireworks CS5 on Mac OSX 10.9 Mavircks - worked before?

Tried to launch my copy of Fireworks CS5 today and it kept crashing? It had worked before, but now.. no. I deleted the app and tried to reinstal. Recently migrated from MacBook Pro running Mavricks and had this installed prior. Migrated to iMac with Mavricks.. now wont launch. Thought it was a serial number issue. Clearly not.
Any thoughts?

Sliced images moving in DW

Hi all,
I am pretty new to development in DW and I have a question that I hope I am putting in the right place.
I have already sliced up the template and imported them into dreamweaver. However, when I am creating a contact us page and input the table for the form, the website becomes distorted. I believe it may be the size of the form itself causing the issue but no matter how much I lower the width in DW it still looks distorted.
Does anyone have any idea how I can stop the sliced images from moving in DW once I import them?
Thanks in advance
andersonr09

I can take a look, but I don't know of any off the top of my head. Basically you could start that tutorial at the following:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/dw_fw_css_pt1.html#articlecontentAdobe_nu mberedheader_4
Creating slices in Photoshop is very similar except that where Fireworks has the box where it says the "Type: Image; JPEG", Photoshop will do that in the Save for Web Dialog. But with that said, Parts 2 & 3 are where it leaves the Fireworks plane and goes in depth with how to structure HTML and CSS in Dreamweaver which is the preferred method. The Save For Web where Photoshop generates HTML is more for prototyping. What that means is basically just showing someone an image of what the web page will look like without doing much coding so that if design changes need to be made, they are done before the content gets entered in as HTML since things could get messy at that point.

This kind of complexity would be much better handled via
Flash, but that
may be outside your experience at this point.
The code you saw was NOT generated by Firefox; it was the
code generated
by Fireworks to pull off the effect you wanted. The lag you
experienced
was Firefox having to download the code to the user's browser
and then
Firefox having to parse and display all the elements
Generally, overlapping slices is not a good idea for many
reasons -
bloated code being one of them. Other issues that can occur
are
unreliable image display, multiple - unnecessary - sliced
images and
migraines from having to edit the code at the source level

Fireworks CS5 buttons don't export into Dreamweaver S5 correctly

I'm very new to fireworks, I've created a design layout in Fireworks CS5 which I've sliced up but when I export the design to Dreamweaver CS5 HTML, the buttons which I've created in Fireworks lose their functionality apart form seeing them as a link,. On the Dreamweaver side I insert Fireworks HTML into a div tag. Its probaly something very simple (hopefully) that I'm missing, any help?

Any pointers?? Please advise. Thanks.
Yes. Don't allow Fireworks or any graphics editor to create HTML for you. Use Graphics apps for Images ONLY. Save images to your DW Local Site folder. Use DW to build your HTML code, rollovers and menus.

Fireworks CS5 click-through prototype - how to organize?

In Fireworks CS5 I'm trying to organize a click-through prototype, but I can't seem to get it to work as intended. I have the following Pages:
Master page
Page 1
Page 2
On the Master page I have (apart from a static background image) two instances of the same button Symbol to make a global navigation. One button is linked to Page 1 and the other to Page 2. The button Symbol has a certain look for the two states: Over (hover) and Down (click) states.
If I export the pages as a html click-through prototype, the two buttons work as expected when I start navigating from the Master page, apart from one thing:
The Down states aren't shown on click and they aren't persisted (for you-are-here indicators) when either Page 1 or Page 2 is loaded.
So my question(s) is/are:
What am doing wrong/have I misunderstood? / How can I organize my prototype differently to make sure the clicked state of the buttons are shown and persisted as I navigate through the prototype?

I can reproduce the issue and have notified the Fireworks Dev team along with supplying them with my sample. In the meantime, one workaround is to place a static graphic, representing your down states, on the appropriate pages.
Alternatively, do not use button symbols. Rather, place the graphic for each state on an actual state in the Master page, then apply a slice and add a Navbar behavior. It's a bit more work and not as elegant as the button symbol, but it does work. Make sure to add the same number of (blank) states to your other pages.
Let me know if you need specific steps.

Some adobe fireworks cs5 panel acting strange.... how to fix it

Hello everyone, I had a little problem with adobe firework cs5, nothing big. Some of the Adobe Fireworks CS5 panel is acting strange: special character panel don’t show any character when I want to insert a special character when I finish create a text. Image editing panel don’t show any editing feature. Patch panel kept on blinking over and over again.
I try to uninstall over and over again but this don’t seem to fix this issue.
Here is a link to the video I post on youtube.com
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDQX6kphqto

I'm having the same problem with the Paths, Image Editing and Color Palette panels. I updated to the latest version of Flash Player 10.3.183.10. Still doens't work.

Problem with copying and pasting text blocks in Fireworks CS5

Until recently when I copied and pasted a text block in Fireworks CS5, the block would retain all formatting applied to the copied text block, font, size, color, etc. Now, the pasted block reverts to some default setting. Oddly, if I copy multiple text blocks, the formatting is retained as expected, but not if I copy a single text block. I cannot find a preference that affects this, and I cannot figure out what might have changed. The current behaviour is definitely not desired, and is dramatically affecting my efficiency. Anyone experienced something similar or have any ideas how to correct this? Thanks.

Sure, thanks for replying so quickly. My workflow is simple. My problem is limited to copying and pasting within Fireworks. I typically select an entire block with the main selection arrow but I sometimes use this one too depending on the context. I usually just use the keyboard CTRL-C then CTRL-V to paste. Previously (and I have been using FW for years, it's always been the same) it would paste an identical text block directly over the top of the copied one, and it looked exactly the same, same font, same color, etc. Now, it pastes a new block in the center of the document and all the formatting has reverted to what I guess is the default, in this case Myriad Pro 12pt. The behavior is the same no matter which arrow I use to select the text block. I tried Edit>Copy and Edit>Paste, the effect was the same. The Duplicate function seems to work as desired, but I had never noticed or tried that command before reading your post. Using the keyboard to copy/paste is such an ingrained habit I'd much prefer to continue using it as I always have instead of trying to retrain myself. (I'm old, retraining is hard!)
(Selected block)
(pasted block)
Most often I copy and paste directly on the canvas, but occasionally will do it within the layers panel. Both now have the same undesired effect. I also tried creating a new document to see if it was a corruption in my current file, but the issue persisted to the new document as well.
Thanks.

Fireworks CS5 crashes often due to buggy memory handling. Will there be a patch?

Fireworks CS5 has a major bug that causes a memory leak or memory "cap" where the application stops functioning once it has used approximately 1.5 GB of memory or so. (I read that 2GB was the cap, but I have never seen Fireworks make it to 2GB). I only have 10 undos set in Fireworks, so I know that's not the problem. I have searched high and low to resolve this, but it seems like Adobe just hasn't recognized this as a high priority.
I read other discussions about the same problem and I now believe that Adobe either doesn't read the forums or they don't care. I hope this is not the case because I truly love the product. But, for the record, I shouldn't have to:
- "Limit the number of undos to less than 100" (I have limited mine to 10, but after 6 months of trial and error I have found that to be irrelevant. The errors occur anyway). Don't encumber your users with such an archaic request. This is like a software bug from 1985.
- "Save, shut down, and restart Fireworks every hour or so". Are you kidding? I can't believe someone on the forums even suggested this. This isn't a solution to the Fireworks bug. This is a work around that does nothing to prevent the error from occuring. Sometimes the error occurs on the very first click after opening a file in Fireworks, after a full system restart. A 5MB file takes 3 minutes to open in Fireworks on my quad-core 3Ghz machine with 8GB of memory. I don't mind that, but I shouldn't have to do it every 30 to 60 minutes. Users shouldn't have to look for "workarounds" to keep a software application running without crashing, especially such an expensive application. I think Fireworks is worth every penny, but only if it runs without crashing.
Perhaps most importantly, I cannot - ever - open two 5MB files in Fireworks at one time. Which makes it extremely cumbersome to impossible to copy/paste content between two files. In fact, I am designing a web application in Fireworks, and I've had to split the app into approximately 15 different files because Fireworks can't handle files bigger than 6 or 7MB.
I had the same problem with CS4 on a different machine, so I know it's not a new issue. I have Fireworks installed on two PCs, both have quad core 3Ghz processors, one PC has 6GB of RAM, the other has 8GB. Once an hour I have to shut down what I'm working on and wait several minutes for Fireworks to reopen the file. Sometimes Fireworks just stops responding and won't let me save my work at all. And since there is no autosave in Fireworks, I probably lose work at least once a day.
Please, please, please address this... I love Fireworks, and I'd really like to keep using it.

I am using Fireworks CS5 in Windows 7 to sketch a large site, and it was taking an extremely long time to do anything and seemed to crash on me once or twice every hour. I saved every couple of minutes and could at least rely on my last save being able to be reloaded. However, a few days ago, I lost a lot of work when Fireworks crashed halfway through the save and destroyed the file. At the time, my most recent backup copy that I had on another drive was a day old, so that crash was not only frustrating but hazardous to my project deadlines (needless to say, I've since implemented a more aggressive backup policy). Anyway, I searched for answers and forums about the problem, and I'm disappointed that it seems that it's a common problem for a lot of folks that has been around for a very long time throughout multiple releases of the software. Memory and resources also seem to be a common factor in contributing to the crashes and are also a theme in the few solution responses that I was able to find. I hope that Adobe will respond with a once-and-for-all fix / a much more efficient and stable way for Fireworks to do its magic. I typically have had very positive things to say about Adobe software and was even the one who recommended the suite for my work, but especially as "well seasoned" and *expensive* as the software is, there is no excuse for any major, well-tested component of it by now to be crashing so consistenly and causing so many problems for so many people.
The solution to the crashing that seems to work for me so far - and I hope that it works for you as well: I doubled the size of my swap/paging file to ~4GB and set the maximum to double that (~8GB). Since I did that, Fireworks has only crashed once (only once.. as if that is even acceptable considering the short time since then). It still runs fairly slowly (granted, I'm working on a large project, so I can tolerate that more), but at least I can use it again.
Hope that helps! Best,
-j

Having the same text resize bugs in Fireworks CS5

Yes, that's right, the same terrible resizing bugs, that I have complained about directly to Adobe MULTIPLE times have not been fixed.
Now we are told there is no patch coming to windows for CS4. Problem still happening. And its not just me.
So now I downloaded CS5 and HAD THE SAME ISSUES!
Seriously Adobe, sort yourselves out.
At my blog here, you can see it well documented. Literally the same issue I have occasionally with CS4. UNBELIEVABLY.
http://allaboutchris.co.uk/blog/2010/bugs-in-fireworks-cs5/
Adobe, when is it getting fixed?

I don't have any problem resizing the text with the Scale tool as long as I hold down the Control or shift key while pulling at a corner with the double arrow cursor. If you pull vertically or horizontally you get just the kind of distortion I'd expect. That's not a bug.
