Fireworks provides a wide range of tools to help you retouch your bitmap images. You can alter an image's size, reduce or sharpen its focus, or copy and stamp a part of it into another area. Let's take a look at the rubber stamp tool. The rubber stamp tool clones an area of a bitmap image, so you can stamp it elsewhere in the image. Cloning pixels is useful when you want to fix a scratched photograph, or remove dust from an image. You can copy a pixel area of a photo and replace the scratch or dust spot with the cloned area. The first thing you need to do is choose the rubber stamp tool. Then we need to click to designate an area that will be the source. With that selected ,the sampling pointer has become a crosshair, and you can see the crosshair right here in the back of the frog. We also have another cursor, and that is the circular area. As I click it and drag it, you can see the crosshairs are picking the colors off the back of the frog. And the circular area is depositing it on this particular area of the bitmap image. Let's take a look at the rubber stamp tool options in the properties inspector. Size determines the size of the stamp, the edge determines the softness of the stroke - 100% is hard and 0% is soft. Source aligned affects sampling operation. When source aligned is selected, the sampling pointer moves vertically and horizontally in alignment with the second. When the source aligned is deselected the sample areas are fixed regardless of where you move and click the second pointer. Use entire document to sample from all objects on all layers. When this object is deselected, the rubber stamp tool samples from the active object only. Opacity determines how much of the background can be seen through the stroke. And blend mode affects how the cloned image affects the background. I will go ahead and undo these changes we have made to our bitmap image. And let's take a look at the blur and sharpening tools. The blur and sharpen tools affects the focus of pixels. The blur tool lets you emphasize or de-emphasize parts of an image by selectively blurring the focus of elements. In much the same way that a photographer controls depth of field. The sharpen tool can be useful for repairing scan problems, or out of focus photographs. I will go ahead and select the sharpen tool. And you can see that it emphasize or brings out the pixels in this area. The other tool we are taking the look at is the smudge tool. The smudge tool lets you gently blend colors, as when creating a reflection of an image. I will go ahead and undo these changes, and let's take a look at the options available to us. When using the blur tool, the size specifies the size of the brush tip. The edge identifies the softness of the brush tip. Shape sets the round or square brush tip shape, and intensity sets the amount of blurring or sharpening. And both of these options or consistent between the blur and sharpen tool. Let's look at the options available to us for the smudge tool. Size specifies the sizes of the brush tip, size specifies the size of brush tip. Shape sets a round or square brush tip shape, edge specifies the softness of the brush tip, and pressure sets the intensity of the stroke. Smudge color allows you to smudge using a specified color at the beginning of each stroke. If this option is deselected, the tool uses the color under the tool pointer. Use entire document smudges using the color data from all objects on all layers. If this object is deselected, the smudge tool uses colors from the active object only. You can also lighten or darken pixels on a bitmap image within Fireworks. And to do so, you can use the dodge and burn tool respectively. And this technique is quite similarly to the dark room procedure of adding light or withholding light from a photograph. We will go ahead and select the dodge tool first. And create few strokes by dragging in the back of this frog. And you can see that area has become lighter; and we will do the same thing with the dodge tool. And you can see now we have darkened this side of the bitmap image. And there are various options available to us that we can look at within the property inspector. The first one is size, and this sets the size of the brush tip. Shape sets the round or square brush tip shape, edge sets the softness of the brush tip. We can also modify the exposure settings. The exposure ranges from 0 to 100%; for a lessened effect specify a lower percentage value. For a stronger effect, specify a higher value. We can also determine the range; shadows change mainly the dark portions of the image. Mid tones change mainly the middle range per channel in the image. And highlights change mainly the light portions of the image. ne the range; shadows change mainly the dark portions of the image. Mid tones change mainly the middle range per channel in the image. And highlights change mainly the light portions of the image.
