Book II 8 in Java

Paint Code 128C in Java Book II 8

If you installed Dreamweaver along with the rest of Macromedia Studio, Fireworks is your primary image-editing application by default However, if you changed that default setting, here s how to return to the setting of Fireworks as your primary image-editing application:

The File Types / Editors options appear in the Preferences dialog box, as shown in Figure 8-2

If Fireworks is now the only application listed in the Editors area, it s the primary editor by default (Primary is in parentheses next to Fireworks)

You may need to set a few preferences in Fireworks as well See Book III, 8 for information on how to set Launch and Edit preferences in Fireworks

Taking advantage of Roundtrip HTML means more than just setting preferences: You also need to know which application is best to use for particular types of changes If you originally exported your HTML from Fireworks and wish to make major structural changes to the table that constitutes your HTML page, we recommend that you modify your original Fireworks PNG source file and re-export the HTML from there, rather than using Dreamweaver to modify the code Using Fireworks to change the table structure ensures that the slices in your Fireworks PNG source file will correspond to the cells in your HTML table Here s how to edit a table in Fireworks (provided the table was created when you exported your page design as HTML from Fireworks) by launching it from within Dreamweaver:

If need be, you can navigate to the source Fireworks PNG file from within the Dreamweaver Property inspector The source file opens in Fireworks

3 Make edits to the slices or guides as necessary 4 Click the Done button when you re finished editing

The Fireworks window closes, and Dreamweaver updates the table and images When you launch and edit a table in Fireworks, it may overwrite some changes you may have made to the table structure in your Dreamweaver code, if the changes you made in Dreamweaver are substantial A warning notifies you when Fireworks will overwrite the existing Dreamweaver edits When you want to leave the table structure intact but need to rename or reoptimize an image, you can launch Fireworks from a selected image rather than a selected table Editing a JPEG image from its Fireworks PNG source file rather than editing and resaving the already optimized image ensures the highest image quality To launch and edit a PNG source file from an optimized image placed in Dreamweaver (to change graphic text in a JPEG image, for example), follow these steps:

in Figure 8-3, or right-click the optimized image and choose Edit with Fireworks from the contextual menu that appears If Dreamweaver cannot locate the source Fireworks PNG file, you re prompted to navigate to the source file When you do, the source PNG file opens in Fireworks At the top of the Fireworks canvas, the words Editing from Dreamweaver show that Roundtrip HTML is in effect Notice at the top left of the Property inspector that the Fireworks icon and the designation FW Image identify the selected image as one created in Fireworks Note also the Fireworks Src text field at the bottom middle of the Property inspector, which shows the path and name of the source Fireworks PNG file

The new version of the image will be exported at the specified settings, which you may leave as is or change before clicking Done

The Fireworks window minimizes When you look at the Document window in Dreamweaver, you see the new image You can also launch and edit a GIF or JPEG image directly in Fireworks, though it s always best to edit from the source PNG when possible, both to preserve image quality and to keep your source file in sync with your Web page If you don t have a source PNG (or don t need to keep your source design file up to date) and you just want to tweak an image without changing its width and height, you can do so easily as follows:
