Resampling in Fireworks differs from most image editing applications. Fireworks contains pixel-based bitmap image objects and vector-based path objects.

When an image object is resampled, pixels are added to or removed from the image object to make it larger or smaller. |
![]() |
When a path object is resampled, little quality loss occurs because the path is redrawn mathematically at a larger or smaller size. |
However, since the attributes of path objects in Fireworks are actually pixels, some strokes or fills may appear slightly different after resampling because the pixels that compose the stroke or fill must be redrawn.
Note: Guides, hotspot objects, and slice objects are resized when an image is resized.
