 * //__Resizing Images in Fireworks__//**


 * 1) Always remember to copy any images you want into an "images" folder in your network folder before modifying.
 * 2) Locate where you have saved the (copy) of the image, right click it and hover your mouse over "Open With" and click "Choose Program."
 * 3) Once the box opens that you choose your program in, scroll down until you find Fireworks MX 2004 and double click it. If Fireworks isn't listed see the webmasters or Mr Ebert.
 * 4) Once Fireworks has opened your image, select 'File' then click 'Export Preview...'
 * 5) Wait for the box to open under the "Options" tab, select JPEG format and an image quality of 70. This quality is fine for web delivery.
 * 6) Select the "File" tab in the same dialogue box. Make sure that the "Constrain" box is ticked. Change the width to 400 pixels as a start and wait a moment while the image is resized.
 * 7) You should notice above the image there is an indication of the projected file size and the time for download. Make sure that the size of the file is not any more than 90 KB.
 * 8) Click the "Export" button and save it in your desired location. Don't forget to name the image using the naming convention.
 * 9) You are now ready to insert the image into the wiki; refer to the FAQ if you do not know how to insert an image into the wiki.

Most people probably won't have Fireworks at home, however you can click [|here] to download the free trial of Fireworks from Adobe's website. A word of warning though: The Fireworks download is very big and people who have a limited download allowance or not enough allowance left may exceed their download limit.
