Using the Export Wizard
You can use the Export Wizard if you are new to optimizing and exporting web graphics. Using the Export Wizard, you can easily export graphics without understanding the details of optimizing and exporting.
The Export Wizard takes you step by step through the optimization and export process. Answer questions about the file destination and intended use, and the Export Wizard suggests file type and optimization settings.
If you prefer to optimize to a target file size, the Export Wizard optimizes the exported file to fit within the size constraint you set.
Once you are more comfortable with optimizing and exporting, you'll want to use the Optimize panel and the preview buttons in the Document window to optimize graphics. They are more convenient than the Export Wizard and offer more optimization control for users who are familiar with the optimization process. After you optimize graphics in this manner, you must perform an additional step to export (or in some cases, save) the graphics. For more information on exporting, see Optimizing in the workspace or Exporting from Fireworks. For more information on saving, see Saving documents in other formats.
To export a document using the Export Wizard:
- Select File > Export Wizard.
- Answer any questions that appear and click Continue in each panel.
Fireworks makes recommendations about file formats.
TIP
Select Target Export File Size in the first panel to optimize to a maximum file size.
- Click Exit in the Analysis Results window of the wizard.
The Image Preview opens with recommended export options. For more information, see Using Image Preview.
