Next, move your cursor over the area of the image you want to select, then click your mouse button.Īs you can see in the snapshot above, it selected most of the board, but not all of it. To use the Magic Wand tool, first select it from the Tools panel. It looks like this: The Magic Wand tool allows you to select pixels in a bitmap image that is based on color. For example, if you want to select the white board in the image below, you can use the Magic Wand tool to do this quickly. NOTE: All changes you make with the bitmap selection tools are permanent. You may want to save a copy of the original image before beginning. This lets you have immediate control over the edge of your selection once you draw it. By default, it is automatically turned on in the Properties Panel. In addition, the Live Marquee feature is available for all the bitmap selection tools. You can also expand, contract, or smooth your bitmap selection by choosing one of these from the Select menu. Select Inverse lets you toggle between the selected area and the unselected area. Sometimes you may find its easier to select the area of an image that you do NOT want to work with. By using Select Inverse, you can then toggle to the area you want to work with. In addition to being able to set options, you can also use the Select menu on the Menu Bar to help you work with your bitmap selections. Normal means the height and width are independent of the other.įixed Ratio means the height and width are constrained to defined ratios. You also have the following options when using the Elliptical or Rectangular Marquee:įixed Size means the height and width is set to a defined dimension in pixels. One option you will have with most tools is to set the edge that you want. You will be able to choose from Hard, Anti-Alias, or Feather.Ī Hard edge results in a jagged and pixelated selection.Īnti-alias will blend the selection with the areas that are not selected.įeather gives a less accurate selection, but it is softer and better blended. You can also set a pixel value for a Feather edge. However, when you use the selection tools located in the Bitmap area of the Tools panel, you can select a certain area of an image, then edit only that area without making changes to the entire image.Ĭonvert a bitmap selection into a vector pathīefore we cover the bitmap selection tools, let's take time to discuss some of the common options associated with these tools.

Leaving Fireworks users hanging in limbo like this feels rather. It is indeed a sad day to realize that Adobe still offers access to an application but refuses to support it, and forces users like me to actually use a cracked version - even though I am supposed to be able to install and use the legal version! Either support it, or remove it altogether from the Adobe CC suite. ![]() (hint: look for the Latin king)īut it works, and it works well. Unfortunately I cannot share the link to that version here. Besides, Fireworks is legacy abandonware. Since I pay the rent for CC, and also own a straight-out license of Fireworks CS6, I think I am in my rights to use that 'portable' version. Due to the confidentiality of some of those older files, I am not in the position to open the FW files in Photopea.) (I no longer use Fireworks for actual work, and use it to open older files. I found that the only dependable method to keep running Fireworks that is guaranteed to work on Windows 10 is to run the "portable" version of Fireworks which is, of course, a cracked version of FW CS6. ![]()
