Adobe Fireworks CS3 Benutzerhandbuch

Fireworks CS3 preference settings let you control the general appearance of the user interface, as well as editing and 
folder aspects. In addition, Fireworks allows you to customize your keyboard shortcuts. This means that you can 
customize your shortcuts and standardize them among your favorite software programs.

Fireworks has preference settings that control the general appearance of the user interface as well as options related 
to specific features such as default colors, tool options, folder locations, and file conversions. 

Select Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Fireworks > Preferences (Macintosh).

Select the preferences group you wish to modify: General, Editing, Launch and Edit, Folders, or Import.

Make your changes and click OK.

The following options are on the General preferences tab:

sets undo/redo steps to a number between 0 and 1009. This setting applies to both the Edit > Undo 

command and the History panel. A large number of undos can increase the amount of memory Fireworks requires. 
You must restart Fireworks for the change in this setting to take effect.

sets the default colors for brush strokes, fills, and highlight paths. The Stroke and Fill options do not 

automatically change the colors displayed in the color boxes of the Tools panel; they allow you to change the default 
colors that are specified by the Set Default Stroke/Fill Colors button in the Tools panel.

sets one of four different scaling methods that Fireworks uses to interpolate pixels when images are 

scaled:

•

Bicubic interpolation gives the sharpest and highest quality most of the time and is the default scaling method.

•

Bilinear interpolation gives sharper results than Soft interpolation but not as sharp as Bicubic. 

•

Soft interpolation, which was used in Fireworks 1, gives a soft blur and eliminates sharp details. This method is 
useful when others produce unwanted artifacts.
