188 Chapter 7: Applying Color, Strokes, and Fills
Transforming and distorting fills
You can move, rotate, skew, and change the width of an object’s pattern or gradient fill. When
you use the Pointer or Gradient tools to select an object with a pattern or gradient fill, a set of
handles appears on or near the object. You can drag these handles to adjust the object’s fill.
Use the fill handles to interactively adjust a pattern or gradient fill.
To move the fill within an object:
■
Drag the round handle, or click in a new location in the fill using the Gradient tool.
To rotate the fill:
■
Drag the lines connecting the handles.
To adjust the fill width and skew:
■
Drag a square handle.
Setting hard-edged, anti-aliased, or feathered fill
edges
In Fireworks, you can make the edge of a fill a regular hard line or soften the edge by
anti-aliasing or feathering it. By default, edges are anti-aliased. Anti-aliasing smooths jagged
edges that may occur on rounded objects, such as ellipses and circles, by subtly blending the
edge into the background.
Feathering, however, produces a noticeable blending on either side of the edge. This softens
the edge, creating an effect similar to a glow.
To change the edge of a selected object:
1. Do one of the following to display the Edge pop-up menu:
■
Click the Edge pop-up menu in the Property inspector.
■
Click the Fill Color box in the Tools panel, click Fill Options, and click the Edge
pop-up menu.
2. Select an edge option: Hard Edge, Anti-Alias, or Feather.
