Why FW cannot zoom in precisely!

I am a user of PS and I'm now trying to FW. But what scares me, it's the impossiblities of precise zoom of the work area!

PS I can write any number of percentage of zoom by myself. I am not obscured by stages predefined rude zooming - as is the case in FW.

Why the hell FW can then design elemetary function!

Maybe I am doing something wrong...?

Thnx for answer!

The fact is that Fireworks is not Photoshop.  Or Illustrator. If that were the case, it would be useless to have the three applications.

I'm not an engineer of fireworks, so I don't have an answer to the "why". The zoom feature has been the case since the days of Macromedia and I guess he has not sufficiently lifted shields customers Adobe will decorate change of time and money.

If it's important for your workflow, present wish list, it must be sent in future versions.

> "" It laks some essential features in front the other sw packages. ""

And it has many essential prototyping features that are lacking in other applications, such as pages, symbols, styles, States, web objects, etc...

Examples

(1) Fireworks opens the Photoshop files to a fairly high level of loyalty - but not terrible not perfect, either. Photoshop may not yet understand a Fireworks PNG file; It will flatten the file if you try to open it.

(2) Fireworks (or perhaps the designer of fireworks) is much more accurate in terms of pixel placement. I opened Photoshop web templates. Faced with the layer visibility (not everyone uses the layer Comp feature, unfortunately), to work with assets too complex, having to check all the items for specific sizing and alignment, interface I'm spending/wasting precious time just 'fixing' things. Don't get me wrong; I love Photoshop. I use PS a lot - for high-resolution digital imaging and retouching, creating amazing panoramas, my work in print. I also use Lightroom. All these products have their strengths and their weaknesses.

(3) I got a PSD file sent me once (well, more than once)-fictitious web site to the top of a form. A checkbox required seven or eight layers. And there were several unique checkboxes in this model. Moments of pleasure, I tell you. A form field took at least four layers. Layers of the BITMAP image.

In Fireworks, I drop right in a symbol of field box or form. I'm done. I can change its State, size, and label of a Panel, or drill holes in the symbol to make global changes.

(4) I've seen the established basic interface buttons multiple flat layers, of bitmap. Results, I can replicate or improve using a single vector object, and a custom - style or even pre-engineered. And it remains editable!

If you're happier with Photoshop, if you feel more faster/better/less expensive work you with Photoshop, and then stick with it. The worst thing you can do is to try to learn another application (and FW is different) while on a delay.

But if you decide to invest time learning Fireworks and familiarize themselves with the work (just as you had to at some point when you first cracked open Photoshop) I think you will see how much faster you can work. It does not mean that you are a PS landing

Another example:

In my class of fireworks last night, we had a Photoshop mockup that had three compositions of layers. I can't in PS is change layers and perhaps save jpeg files of each model to the customer for review. Or take the jpegs and then open Dreamweaver, insert them into html pages, add an image map for navigation, then download the final result.

We opened the PSD in Fireworks, rebuilt an image mask (Fireworks CS4 does not work well with the clipping paths) to the homepage of this micro site.

Then we have imported the other two layers in new pages in the same document in Fireworks

We then added hot spots to navigation on the first page, related to the hotspots to the other pages and then SHARED the hotspots to each page of the design so that we had consistent and easy to maintain interactive elements that could be modified in any page in the design.

Finally, we have exported this model as an interactive HTML prototype.

20 students (mainly users of Photoshop and Illustrator) and we did all this in less than 45 minutes. On mine, I could do it in less than half the time. We never left the fireworks. The only thing left to do is to download the prototype to the customer for review and maybe change the page layout in Dreamweaver. For the purpose of prototyping, who might have another 10 minutes.

If I wanted to catch the really flexible mock, I could spend a bit of time to create a master page for all public areas (including navigation). I added new pages, the basic layout is already present. I can change the entire look of the model just by editing a page and change the elements of the background or add additional navigation.

And over time, I'm sure that - if possible - fireworks will continue to gain more consistency in the user interface with the other applications in the Suite. Let me tell you, though, things are already a heck of a lot more consistent than they were when Fireworks was a product of Macromedia.

See you soon,.

    You are right, but as far as I know on the Toshiba U.S. page you can find the update of BIOS detailed with all the necessary information.
    In any case if there is a problem with your laptop BIOS update is not necessary. In the worst cases, fan activity can be changed and you may be faced with more active fan cooling which can be very annoying.

    Some people have reported these issues in the past. So if there is no reason and you are happy with your laptop don't change anything.

  • Why teststand cannot display the ASCII character which number up to 128?

    Hi all

    I encountered a problem on an application for ASCII characters, why teststand cannot display the ASCII character which number up to 128?

    For example: an expression Local.xx = Chr (164).

    XX--> chain, can't do the correct string.

    An idea for this?

    OS: WinXP, SP1 Teststand2012.

    Thank you very much.

    TestStand uses encodings multibyte code page, that you have defined for the operating system-based. If you are using a code page that requires multibyte characters, you should also make sure that you have the Options of Station-> location-> parameter Regcognize multi-byte characters is enabled.

    On Windows 7, at least, the code page of the operating system setting is located in the control panel "Region and language" in the "Administration" tab where it says "language for non-Unicode programs".

    Hope this helps,

    «a primary key has semantic meaning, it is to be immutable (never change of value), unique and not null.»

    a unique constraint is simply "at any time, these values are unique - they can change and they can be null.

    You use a unique when constraint

    (a) you do not already have a primary key for a table can have only one

  • Why Dreamweaver cannot have an interface of type Muse

    Why Dreamweaver cannot have an interface of type Muse so we can have only one program instead of two, most of the features of Muse are already built in Dreamweaver. I think that the advantage of having the two harvesters will benefit all users at all levels. It would be very fair to be part of the presentation of the workspace

    They have two completely different programs, designed for two completely different audiences.

    Muse is essentially a new GoLive and should remain its own program, separate from DW.

    Combining them would cause half Adobe target demographic to lose their collective minds.

  • Why the Pan & Zoom Tool cannot start with the frame using photos

    I used the animation panning and zoom in Microsoft Movie Maker - and want the same ease of use in any other program (I find that he does a great job of a soundtrack placement and text/image) see options from the menu below...   I purchased Premiere Elements after watching a short video of the pan & zoom tool - but now I'm trying to use it it falls way short.

    Y at - there a way for me to select the whole photo as the starting frame – in the screenshot below that frame 1 will extend to the entire photo, so I'm going with a cropped image.  I want the full Frame of the photo and then be able to zoom and pan in the direction of faces - while I can still do it with the cropped image I lost part of my picture and the context it provides.

  • Windows Media Center - why it cannot detect TV?

    I used Qosmioplayer and it detects the TV from my Sky Digibox very well signal. However, I would like to record TV with my laptop and when I try to set up the TV using Windows Media Center, it cannot detect anything. I tried every possible permutation and the manual does not give pointers...

    Why the Qosmiplayer works for the entrance to Sky TV, but not the media library?

    Please help it's driving me crazy!

    I assume you are using a lead of areal coaxial standard to connect to your sky box? If so, you need to know which way the sky is coming in the. To do this, use the Qomsio drive to search for channels and when it detects the signal from Sky, it will tell you which way it is passed on. Something like channel 36. OK, now you have this information, start the machine and go into Media Center. You must manually add this channel. As Media center works with the EPG, all channels such as the skyinput must be added.

    So, in the main menu, go to

    Settings > TV > Guide > add missing channels > add channel

    Now enter the channel name you want displayed when viewing. IE SKY.

    Now you enter the channel number 36 IE that you got the Qosmio engine. This will now be held on the next available channel. IE 6/7/8 etc. Everything do you now is go to the channel and it appears at the entrance to heaven.

    Hope this helps
