Converted and unsupported Photoshop features in Fireworks

When you open or import a Photoshop file, Fireworks converts the image to PNG format using import preferences that you specify. (See Photoshop Import preferences.)

  • Individual layer masks convert to Fireworks object masks. Group masks are unsupported.

  • Clipping masks convert to object masks, but their appearance changes slightly. To maintain appearance but lose editability, select the Clipping Masks preference.

  • Blending modes for layers convert to blending modes for Fireworks objects, if corresponding modes exist.

  • Layer effects are retained by default. If you prefer to convert these effects to corresponding Live Filters, select the Layer Effects preference. Note, however, that similar effects and filters might differ slightly in appearance.

  • The first alpha channel in the Channels palette converts to transparent areas in the Fireworks image. Fireworks does not support additional Photoshop alpha channels.

  • All Photoshop color depths and modes convert to 8-bit RGB.

  • Adjustment layers are unsupported.
