In a sense, a layer is like a page of a book.  Actually, it&#8217;s more like an animation cell because it can be totally or partially transparent to see what&#8217;s behind it.  And just as a collection of several animation cells can constitute one frame, several layers can constitute one Fireworks file.<\/p>\n<p>Handling layers in Fireworks is a little bit different from how they are handled in Photoshop.  Under Photoshop, you could choose a particular layer with a right button click.  But that doesn&#8217;t work unless there are multiple layers at the very spot where a click is made.  Photoshop also has a function called <strong>Auto-Select<\/strong>.  This feature lets you select a particular one across several layers.  How about Fireworks?  Fireworks lets you visually select a particular layer with a click of Mouse.  So which layer is active depends on what&#8217;s been activated.  Even in the presence of multiple layers, one does not feel the necessity of opening the Layer Window.  This feature makes Fireworks easy to use for both beginners and even for advanced users.  <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Keywords: Rectangle Tool, Numeric Transform, Modify, Arrange, Bring to Front, Bring Forward, Send Backward, Send to Back, Opacity, Ellipse Tool, Combine Paths, Punch, Flatten Selection<br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><\/p>\n<table width=\"460\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tr valign=\"top\">\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mhvt.net\/quicktime\/eng\/screenshots\/adobe_fireworks_cs3\/adobe_fireworks_cs3_03_01.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mhvt.net\/quicktime\/eng\/screenshots\/adobe_fireworks_cs3\/adobe_fireworks_cs3_03_01.jpg\" height=\"165\" width=\"220\" alt=\"Adobe Fireworks CS3 video tutorial\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mhvt.net\/quicktime\/eng\/screenshots\/adobe_fireworks_cs3\/adobe_fireworks_cs3_03_02.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mhvt.net\/quicktime\/eng\/screenshots\/adobe_fireworks_cs3\/adobe_fireworks_cs3_03_02.jpg\" height=\"165\" width=\"220\" alt=\"Adobe Fireworks CS3 video tutorial\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><\/p>\n<li>Adobe Fireworks version: 9.0.0<\/li>\n<li>VTC version: 1.0<\/li>\n<li>Length: 5 minutes 24 seconds<\/li>\n<li>Video format: QuickTime<\/li>\n<li>Video compression: H.264<\/li>\n<li>Pixel size: 900 x 675<\/li>\n<li>Audio effects: Enabled<\/li>\n<li>Audio commentary: Enabled<\/li>\n<p><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><\/p>\n<table width=\"440\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">\n<tr>\n<td width=\"200\"><a href=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"machouse\/video_tutorials_no_visitors.gif\" alt=\"Mac video tutorials\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td width=\"200\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mhvt.net\/quicktime\/eng\/vtc\/adobe_fireworks_cs3\/adobe_fireworks_cs3_03.php\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"machouse\/video_tutorials_members.gif\" alt=\"Mac video tutorials\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>Please read <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mhvt.net\/quicktime\/eng\/terms_guests.php\">Terms of Use for Guests<\/a> before watching any of the video tutorials.<br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\nAdobe Fireworks CS3 is a product of Adobe Systems Incorporated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learning Graphic Editing Basics with Adobe Fireworks CS3 03: Layers In the third video tutorial of the Adobe Fireworks CS3 series, we are going to talk about layers.
