Create bitmap objects by drawing
When you create a bitmap object, it appears on the current
layer. In the Layers panel with layers expanded, you can see a thumbnail
and name for each bitmap object under the layer on which it resides.
Although some bitmap applications consider each bitmap object a
separate layer, Fireworks combines bitmap objects, vector objects,
and text on layers.
Select the Brush or Pencil tool from the Bitmap section
of the Tools panel.
Paint or draw with the Brush or Pencil tool to create bitmap
objects on the canvas.
A new bitmap object is added to the
current layer in the Layers panel. For more information on using
the Pencil or Brush tools, see Editing bitmaps.
