Adjust bitmap color and tone

For more information, see Control how a document redraws on the screen.

Use color- and tone-adjustment filters to improve and enhance the colors in your bitmap images.

  • To apply filters that are removable, editable, and that do not permanently alter pixels, use Live Filters. Adobe recommends using filters as Live Filters whenever possible.

    Note: Although Live Filters are more flexible, large numbers of Live Filters in a document can slow down Fireworks' performance.

  • To apply filters in an irreversible, permanent way, select them from the Filters menu.

  • You can't apply Live Filters from the Filters menu to pixel selections. You can define an area of a bitmap and create a separate bitmap from it, and then apply a Live Filter to it.

  • If you apply a filter to a selected vector object using the Filters menu, Fireworks converts the selection to a bitmap.
