ADOBE FIREWORKS CS3

You can create an additional marquee to frame an existing marquee at a specified width. This lets you create special 
graphics effects, such as feathering the edges of a pixel selection.

After drawing a marquee, select Select > Border Marquee.

Enter the width of the marquee that you want to place around the existing marquee, and click OK.

You can eliminate excess pixels along the edges of a pixel selection. This is useful if excess pixels appear along the 
border of a pixel selection or marquee after you use the Magic Wand tool.

Choose Select > Smooth Marquee.

Enter a sample radius to specify the desired degree of smoothing, and click OK.

Using Fireworks, you can convert a bitmap selection to a vector object by drawing a marquee around the part of the 
bitmap that you want to convert. This process is useful if you want to start creating an animation by tracing a 
selection from a bitmap, for example.

❖

After drawing a marquee, select Select > Convert Marquee to Path.

The document’s current stroke and fill attributes are applied to the new path.

You can transfer a marquee selection from one bitmap to another bitmap object on the same layer or one on a 
different layer. You can also transfer the marquee selection to a mask.

Make a selection by drawing the marquee.

In the Layers panel, select a different bitmap object on the same layer or an object on a different layer. 

The marquee is transferred to that object.
