Fireworks PNG file format specification

Are there any documents on Adobe's PNG format? Is there an SDK? Someone I can contact to get my hands on some documentation for this format? I am particularly interested in Adobe's mkTS and mkBT PNG chunks. Any help or direction is appreciated. Thanks.

Seriously don't you have any idea of the end-goal ?
Fireworks uses PNG as native file format, which is really good, decorated with meta-data to store plots and layers information, still a good idea...
...but does not provide a clear specification of such metadata, which is really bad as it captures users to a proprietary format.
Remember that people use your software because they found it efficient, not because they're obliged to, for interoperabity 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.

Illustrator file format specifications

Where I can found the illustrator file format specifications?

Monika is right. There is no public documentation on the file format. It's proprietary and only AI itself can read and write it 100% correctly. Corel claim to have reverse-engineered the CS3 AI format, but I can't tell you how well it works, if at all. You can of course still find enough info on the legacy AI 88 format, which was the last time the format spec was publicly available, but it's a completely different thing from today's AI files....

Where to find .abr (brushes) file format specification

Hi there,
I've found the "Adobe Photoshop File Formats Specification" in the documentation (http://www.adobe.com/devnet-apps/photoshop/fileformatashtml/).
But unfortunately it does not contain the spec for .abr brush file format.
Any ideas where to find this?
Thanks
Mirko

I don’t believe the current format is documented. It has a bunch of serialized ActionDescriptors inside, so documenting it fully and explicitly would probably be pretty difficult. If you use Photoshop’s code for parsing the ActionDescriptors though, you should be able to reverse engineer the format without impossible levels of effort – might take a couple days or something.

Opening Fireworks .png file from Dreamweaver

Anybody have problems with the connectivity between Fireworks
and Dreamweaver? I have a Retail version of Macromedia Studio 8.
I've been designing a new site and noticed that my fireworks .png
file is not updating from my changes in Dreamweaver (probably
because I cannot open from the edit button in Dreamweaver.) When I
try to open the .png file from the Edit button at the bottom of the
Properties Panel in Dreamweaver it gives me an Error Message :
Unable to Launch. Please be sure that the application exists and
that there is enough memory.
Obviously the only benefit of Macromedia suite is the
connectivity. Well, since I don't have it it is sucking. Was it a
misinstallation on my part? Anybody know what's happening here or
how to fix?
Thanks,
JP

Copy the file off the server, then open it?
And what version of Photoshop are you using? On what OS version?
Most likely this is a bug in the OS or server software that just shows up because of the asynchronous file IO used by Photoshop (to improve performance).

Psd file format specification how get the pixel values

Hello
I'm trying to convert psd to xml and get all information from layers
I already got all necessary info but for example the radius in rounded rectangle is in math double format but I need to have it in pixels.
I'm using Adope photoshop file format specification but there is no information how to convert double values to pixels,
The same is with colors that also given in double.
I need to know how to convert these values to actual values
Thanks

Hi,
You can't do that. You have to format the numbers before you print them. Take a look at the decimal format class:

4F4 File Format Specification

Is there a file format specification document available for the 4F4 file format? The HTTP Dynamic Streaming product page has a link titled "Learn about the F4F file format specification" but the link leads to the FLV/F4V file format specification document.

It looks like F4M is a XML-based metadata protocol for video. I'm looking for F4F, which is a encapsulating protocol to divide FLV/F4V containers into fragments and segments.
Check out this packet dump from Limelight's demo site. This is a response with content type video/f4f, which seems to wrap a f4v file (moof/mfhd/traf keywords are visible, are these related to moov/mvhd/trak?).

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.

AI files format specification

Hello!
I am looking for modern AI file format specification. In some old topics I saw that all specifications later than this one http://http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/illustrator/sdk/AI7FileFormat.pdf are proprietary. Are they still being in secret? If so, are there any tools from Adobe that can be used in my application to parse AI files?
Thanks in advise,
Stas.

None I'm afraid I know there's a library out there for reading PDF files (super expensive to license!) because we were considering that at one point. I seem to recall that we were directed to it when we asked Adobe about it, so maybe they have some help from Adobe, or at least their blessing. Maybe there's someone out there doing an AI library as well (if not the same people).

Freehand File Format Specifications

Hi,
Trying to locate file format specifications for Freehand 9,
10 and MX files. From what I've seen on the 'net, they weren't made
availabe to the public by Macromedia.
With Freehand considered "dead" by Adobe, why couldn't Adobe
release the format specs? Surely this can't be a big deal to the
Macromedia people at Adobe anymore.
Thanks, wbjethro2

WOW! I'm an old school Freehand user ( since V2.0) and just
discovered this Forum and that FH is now in the clutches of Adobe.
So they are gonna kill it this time huh? As some of you may know,
this is an old saga for sure. Yes. Adobe has been trying to kill FH
for years and now they get to do it. I just hope Illfrustrator has
evolved in the past few years. Anyway, I concur with the theory of
paranoia at Adobe. They don't want to face a Ghost of Freehand past
that they will have to buy out again. I just can't believe thier
Illustrator developers couldn't just improve Freehand, rather than
improving Illustrator with Freehand code ;) Hey has Photoshop
evolved into something better since 6 or is it BloatWear by now?

Fireworks PNG file to iPhone

I am trying to use Fireworks to create PNG files to use in my iPhone app and they are not rendering properly. I have read that Firworks has it's own PNG format, do I need to do something special to make it work with the iPhone?
Thanks for any assistance.

Hi Steve:
I pulled this from the iPhone Resource Library:
Note: The standard bit depth for icons and images is 24 bits (8 bits each for red, green, and blue), plus an 8-bit alpha channel. The PNG format is recommended, because it preserves color depth and supports an embedded alpha channel. You can use the Preview application to produce the final PNG file.
You do not need to constrain your palette to web-safe colors. Although you can use alpha transparency in the icons you create for navigation bars, toolbars, and tab bars, do not use it in application icons.

Brush Preset File (ABR file) format specification

Hi,
For previous version up to photoshop CS, adobe has released a specification of its files formats, including the brush preset format.
Were can I get the specifications for CS3 & CS4 file formats? I need them so that I am able to import the newer versions (7) of abr brush preset files into my application.
Thanks,
Mario

I just download his presets using your posted link. He has five Chalk brush presets some have texture some do not. None of the five have the settings or the preview your brush palette shows. Also there are Additional icon in the tools option bar that can change the way some of the setting function namely Shape dynamics size, Transfer opacity and airbrush mode.

Older fireworks .png files now crashing?

I just performed apple's software update last night. This morning, when going to open a png file I created last year, I was surprised the application crash. Next time I opened the file, it allowed me to select a layer, then it crashed. Luckily, many newer png files I've checked seem to be working fine. Also, png files without layers or text seem to open fine too.
I'm using Fireworks MX but have recently upgraded DreamWeaver to CS4.
Any ideas???????????
Thanks.

Make sure the PNG files are in the same location they were when you last opened them, and that you haven't removed any fonts you used in creating them. A corrupted font could also be the problem.
