Adjusting bitmap color and tone
Fireworks has color- and tone-adjustment filters to help you improve and enhance the colors
in your bitmap images. You can adjust the contrast and brightness, the tonal range, and the
hue and color saturation of your images.
Applying filters as Live Filters from the Property inspector is nondestructive. Live Filters do
not permanently alter the pixels; you can remove or edit them anytime.
If you prefer to apply filters in an irreversible, permanent way, you can select them from the
Filters menu. However, Macromedia recommends that you use filters as Live Filters whenever
possible.
You can apply filters from the Filters menu to pixel selections, but not Live Filters. You can,
however, define an area of a bitmap and create a separate bitmap from it, and then apply a
Live Filter to it.
