Fireworks Slicing Capsbilities


Recommended Posts

I've come to understand slicing AD better but i'm still enormously frustrated, relative to how I used to work in Fireworks (apart from it's bugginess).

 

  1. scaling/moving  artwork objects under slices (in export persona)
  2. opt-drag cloning slices
  3. 8bit png alpha tranparency

 

scaling/moving  artwork objects under slices (in export persto use ona)

My main problem is that AD presumes I will scale slices relative to layers.  Actually frequently I need to scale layers (objects) to confirm with slices.  IE the slices provide a visual grid that i need to confirm to.

 

To achieve this now I either load up countless guides, or (and this is true, i really do this)  - I take a snapshot of the export persona and paste it in as a guide within the draw persona.

 

The way Fireworks behaved, or at least was meant to behave (god that thing was buggy), was far far better.

8bit png alpha tranparency

 

...These latter two being self explanatory

 

 

Am I missing anything here?
