Optimize Fireworks images and animations placed in Dreamweaver

1. In Dreamweaver, select the image and do one of the following:

   • Select Commands > Optimize Image.

   • Click the Optimize button in the Property inspector.

   • Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) and choose Optimize In Fireworks from the pop-up menu.

2. If prompted, specify whether to open a Fireworks source file for the placed image.

3. Make edits in the Export Preview dialog box:

   • To edit optimization settings, click the Options tab.

   • To edit the size and area of the exported image, click the File tab. If you change image dimensions in Fireworks, you must reset the size of the image in the Property inspector when you return to Dreamweaver.

   • To edit animation settings for the image, click the Animation tab.

4. When you have finished editing the image, click Update to export the image, update the image in Dreamweaver, and save the PNG.

   If you changed the format of the image, the Dreamweaver link checker prompts you to update references to the image.

If you are opening and optimizing an Animated GIF file, you can also edit the animation settings. The animation options in the Export Preview dialog box are similar to those available in the Fireworks States panel.
