Saving Fireworks PNG files

When you create a new document or open an existing Fireworks PNG file, the document's filename has the extension .png. The file displayed in the Fireworks document window is your source file, or working file.

Using a Fireworks PNG file as your source file has the following advantages:

• The source PNG file is always editable. You can go back and make additional changes even after you export the file for use on the web.
• You can slice complex graphics into pieces in the PNG file and export them as multiple files with different file formats and various optimization settings.

To save a new Fireworks document:

1. Select File > Save As.

   The Save As dialog box opens.

2. Browse to the desired location and type the filename.

   You do not need to enter an extension; Fireworks does that for you.

3. Click Save.

To save an existing document:

• Select File > Save.
