Overview:
Macromedia Fireworks
4 is an integrated, all-in-one tool for producing graphics and
animations for the World Wide Web.
You
can create buttons, animations, and page comps. Save
production time with the History panel, step-by-step button
maker, and the Library. Everything remains editable (including
files from other leading graphics applications) and Fireworks
code integrates seamlessly into Macromedia Dreamweaver and
other leading HTML editors.
Upon successful completion of this course,
students will be able to:
 |

differences between bitmap and vector graphics.

Use the Info panel to
precisely scale objects.
