Setting hard-edged, anti-aliased, or feathered fill edges
In Fireworks, you can make the edge of a fill a regular hard line or soften the edge by anti-aliasing or feathering it.
By default, edges are anti-aliased. Anti-aliasing smoothes jagged edges that may occur on rounded objects, such as
ellipses and circles, by subtly blending the edge into the background.

Feathering, however, produces a noticeable blending on either side of the edge. This softens the edge, creating an
effect similar to a glow.
