bug in fireworks CS4 at 24/32-bit with alpha transparent png export?

Hello

I recently upgraded to CS4 from CS3 and am very disappointed that the ease of export png to 24 or 32 bit png is then useless on my installation of fireworks (Vista). I have a colleague who reported the same behanviour on his mac.

Please see this file png native fireworks CS4 and the attempt to export it as 24 or 34 bit png, ensuring the canvas is transparent (it shuold be already)...

http://www.capitalh.NET/demo-bug.PNG

The visualization mode in CS3 would show the png with its alpha channel, indicated by the transparency checkerboard. Exporting as well would produce the desired result > a PNG with an alpha nice mix channel.

Viewing in preview in CS4 mode displays an horrible rendering of the image on a white background. Export the image gives the same result. Please see this link for confirmation:

http://www.capitalh.NET/demo-bug-export.PNG

Please also see this simple image, this time using a simple ellipse shape:

http://www.capitalh.NET/demo-bug-export-SimpleShape.PNG

You will notice that it is not transparent, and the ellipse has not been smoothed.

Anyone can shed light on this behavior?

Export of png as such is something I do every day at work, and is a fundamental requirement of an image editting application targeted to web site design.

I'm doing something wrong? I been using Fireworks since 2003 so I'm inclined to think that I'm not.

Transparency is only available when the file is exported as a PNG 8 or

PNG 32. The sample you have to downloaded has been optimized for the PNG-24 format. When

I changed optimization PNG 32, the file exported as planned.

The shape simple PNG file seems to be a solid image, not a vector

ellipse. In this case, the layout optimization of PNG 8

with index transparency has solved the problem.

  • Change grahics Captivate 4 library with Fireworks CS4 as default

    Hello.

    Can someone tell me how to set FireWorks CS4 as my default editor for graphical editing of my library in Captivate 4. I uninstalled Fireworks CS3, which was my fault but when I installed FireWorks CS4, I go to "Edit with" in my library but my default is now MS Paint.

    Thank you

    WR

    Hello

    When you right-click on a file in the library offers you an option to edit or edit with. Choose Edit with you will help choose Fireworks. This seems to be by file type. So you might see MSPAINT open BMP images, Fireworks open PhotoChop open for PNG and GIF.

    See you soon... Rick

  • Fireworks CS4 maintain make appearance does not

    Hello

    I have already created a Fireworks MX button with the police 'Monotype without WT' for an IBM computer.

    Then I changed to another computer that does not have the police.  Fireworks MX has been able to properly manage the appearance of fonts when I want to create a new button.

    However, as I have upgraded to the new version of Fireworks CS4, I wasn't able to recreate the same look of fonts.  The feature to "maintain the appearance of the police" no longer works.

    What is someone having the same problem?

    Is this a bug introduced in the new version?

    Is there anyway that I can solve the problem?  (I don't have the old computer more).

    Thanks for all you help,

    Quan

    If I remember correctly, you lose the 'apparition' as soon as you try to change it. I don't know the mechanics of how it maintains.

    If you want to continue and use the font just re-install again :-)

  • Fireworks CS4 trial running after using CS4 beta

    I tried the beta version of Fireworks CS4 a few months ago, but after getting tired of all the bugs, I uninstalled and decided to wait for the Trial Version. I downloaded which today and installed, but when I try to run it I get a message that says "the license for this product has expired." and then it closes, never fully loading. I'm guessing this has something to do with the CS4 beta I had already installed and uninstalled. Maybe I didn't uninstall it correctly, but now I need to know how to go forward, then I can give the version of Fireworks CS4 and a proper evaluation.

    Any ideas on how I can get running the Trial Version of CS4?

    Uninstall the trial.
    Then the dl/execute the script cleaning here

  • Fireworks CS 6 now 64 bit?

    Hello

    with Fireworks CS 5, I always become a memory problem. On the Adobe Web site, I found 6 Fireworks:

    Improved performance

    • To solve the problem of insufficient memory , the use of fireworks GDI objects has been reduced.
    • Limit memory increased on computers Windows 64-bit for better stability when open and save files.

    What does that mean? CS6 Fireworks is now a 64-bit software or will I still receive an error of memory?

    Thanks for your hellp!

    Greetings Torsten, Germany

    It is still 32-bit. It was enhaced to make full use of the theoretical limit of address space 4GB memory for 32 bit apps on 64 bit system while it was limited to 2.5 GB or more, which would of course most of the time be even less. Tour the next time, it will become 64 bit as well, although most browsers are still 32-bit and so things like the WebKit engine, used for the preview also not necessarily provide the best 64-bit experience, web conversion apps to 64-bit may not be the most pressing issue...

  • Strange behavior on Fireworks CS4 preview hotspots

    Hi all

    My students have created prototypes of 10 web pages in Fireworks CS4. Even if they are careful affect the hotspot links that fall below the line of division in the list of links, they see a very erratic behavior when previewing pages in a browser. All links worked views of students before sending me the files. When I consult their files, some work and some do not. I had the students create interactive links on the master page and then create additional pages by copying this master page.

    After that I gave comments to students, they returned to check their links in the Master Page. The links were all assigned to page names above the line of division in the list of links, even if they had initially attributed pages below this line of division. Interestingly, some of the links did not work even after doing this correction on th students files.

    I had the students export these files to PDF, and it worked very well. Can someone tell me why, when I open a file that my students sent me, the hotspots fail? I did the right thing by telling them to build their hotspots in the Master Page, then copy this page? What other variables could affect this result?

    Thanks for all the help people can give!

    Katie Stern

    Yes, it was an issue in CS4. It's been fixed in CS5 (I know because I checked). The only solution is to place the layer of hot spots on one of the actual pages. Create a sublayer in the web layer, place the hot spots in this sup layer and share this sublayer to pages. Navigation graphics can stay on the master page.

  • Option of DPI in Fireworks CS4?

    I would like to print the logo that I use on my site. How can I - or rather, can I - use Fireworks CS4 to replace pixels/inch dpi image? When I go to modify-> canvas-> Image size, I don't see an option of DPI.

    Thank you

    For printing? Photoshop, Illustrator or InDesign.

    You should be able to export your FW design in Illustrator by choosing File > export > FXG and Images. If it's all vectors, he should come over quite well.

    If there is no bitmap if, you won't have to pull in the original works of art again to work at a higher resolution.
