Join Ray Villalobos for an in-depth discussion in this video Opening documents and setting up the workspace, part of Fireworks CS6 Essential Training.
In Fireworks, you might spend a lot of time using the tools and the…Properties panel, but the workspace is where you'll do all the work that will…show up in your projects.…So let's take a look at some of the options in this area.…First time you deal with the workspace is usually when you're creating a new…document, so let's go ahead and do that now.…I'm going to go over to the File menu and select New.…And usually, the first thing you do is type in some values for the Width and…Height of the project.…So I'm going to type in here 600 pixels wide by 900 pixels tall.…You don't usually mess with Resolution because the standard web resolution is…72 pixels per inch.…
You don't usually mess with the measurement systems either. Most the time you're…working in pixels when doing things online.…Next, you might want to change your Canvas Color.…I like to set my Canvas as Transparent, but you can also set a custom color by…clicking on this and then clicking on this pop-up panel and choosing one of…the colors from here.…
