In FireworksMX there's a file export button on the default toolbar. Just up there to the left of the 'print' icon. If you're going to use the default settings (and if you do this regularly I think you can change the default settings) then all you'd do is open the image in fireworks with your right-click menu then hit the export button. It'll open where you last exported, or you can change that setting to open where you opened the image from.
You can probably even automate this process if you do it often, but I don't know the automation/ scripting capabilities of FireworksMX to be able to advise you on that. I reckon in the end, if you know your way around Fireworks, you'll be able to do it as quickly or quicker than in Photoshop. (Incidentally Photoshop doesn't save all of the formats either. For many formats you have to export there too) Cheers, Michael Kear Windsor, NSW, Australia AFP Webworks. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Phil Craig Sent: Wednesday, 5 March 2003 6:37 PM To: CFAussie Mailing List Subject: [cfaussie] Re: fireworks comment & question Hi Mark, In fireworks you have to use file/export since file/save uses Fireworks proprietary "enhanced png" format (that saves all layer info). Use the setting dropdown in the optimise panel to choose the gif format you want ... from memory GIF websnap 128 is the default so you just need to mark your crop area, hit enter to crop it then file/export.
