Fireworks image from FreeHand.

When you finish making edits, click Done in the Document window.
The graphic placed in FreeHand is updated, and the PNG source file is saved if a source file

document, the graphic file outside the FreeHand document is also updated.
Launching Fireworks to optimize bitmap images
You can launch Fireworks from FreeHand to make quick optimization changes to a bitmap, such
as resampling or changing the file type. Fireworks lets you make changes to optimization settings,
the size and area of the image, and animation settings.
To launch Fireworks to optimize a bitmap image:
1
In FreeHand, select the desired image in the Document window.
2
Select Edit > Optimize in Fireworks.
3
If prompted, specify whether to launch a source Fireworks file for the placed image, and select
an option from the Fireworks Source Files pop-up menu. For more information about these
options, see “Launching Fireworks to edit imported bitmap images” on page 320.
