Workspace: Not only can you draw vector graphs on your workspace, you can also work with bitmap (bitmaps) directly. There are four tabs on the workspace, currently the original option window, the workspace, in which you can edit the image file. In the Preview Options window, you can simulate a browser preview to make a good image. The "2" and "4" tabs display the production of images in two and four windows respectively.

Toolbar: The new Fireworks toolbar in addition to a number of new tools, but also with the original tool to optimize the combination to make it more intuitive and humane.

Properties panel: When you select the image or selection tool, the information is displayed in the Properties panel. You can also adjust the image's associated properties by modifying the data or content in the property panel. For example, image size, position and color, and so on, as shown in Figure 1-03.

Combo panel: Fireworks has a total of 14 combo panels, which are "information, layers, colors, color swatches, styles, URLs, libraries, shapes, frames, history, behavior, find, optimize, and align panels." Each panel can be arranged independently of each other and combined with other panels to form a new panel. But the functions of each panel are still independent of each other. Tap the name on the panel to expand or collapse the panel. Figure 1-04, for example, combines the styles panel with the alignment panel to form a new composite panel, as shown in Figure 1-05.
