Fireworks preference settings control the general appearance of the user interface, as well as editing and folder aspects.
The number of undo steps, color defaults, and the Photoshop conversion method are General preferences.
Undo Steps sets the number of undo/redo steps from 0 to 100. This setting applies to both the Edit > Undo command and the History panel.
A large number of undos can increase the amount of memory Fireworks requires. For information about using the History panel to undo and redo steps, see Changing and repeating a document's history.
Color Defaults set the default colors for brush strokes, fills, and highlight paths.
Interpolation chooses one of four different scaling methods that Fireworks can use to interpolate pixels when images are scaled:
|
Bicubic interpolation gives the sharpest and highest quality most of the time, and is the default scaling method. |
|
Bilinear interpolation gives sharper results than soft interpolation, but not as sharp as Bicubic. |
|
Soft interpolation, which was used in Fireworks 1, gives a soft blur and eliminates sharp details. It is useful when other methods of scaling produce unwanted artifacts. |
|
Nearest Neighbor interpolation results in jagged edges and sharp contrasts with no blurring. The effect is similar to zooming in or out on an image with the Magnify tool. |
