How to Import Bitmap Images in Adobe Fireworks
Adobe Fireworks, formerly known as Macromedia Fireworks, is a programme used for editing bitmap and vector images. The most recent stable release of Fireworks was launched by Adobe on May 7, 2012 and was named Fireworks CS6. However, on May 6, 2013, it was announced that a newer version of Fireworks would not be developed by Adobe.
In order to edit images in Fireworks, you will first need to import the images. Importing bitmap images in Fireworks is identical to importing a file in any other software.
Things Required:
– Adobe Fireworks CS6 installed on a computer
