FireWorks4.0 Realization of Mask drawing

Because my computer is very bad, so the general picture processing I can only rely on fireworks (and is 4.0).

Because can not use PS to pull hair, so each time only to PS tutorial exclaiming. But I thought for a long while, found that a single background color of the picture is particularly good to dig, the following methods:

1. First, import the bitmap (in the case of a monochrome background only) and name the layer "background".

2. Select the bitmap, press Ctrl+shift+d to copy out a, the layer named "Mask."

3. Hide the "background" layer, select the "Mask" layer plus special effects--> levels, click the "Select Highlight Color" straw, and point to the background color of the bitmap as a high brightness, so that "mask" layer bitmap background color into white.

4. The "mask" layer of the bitmap plus special effects "other--> converted to Alpha." and press Ctrl+shift+d to copy it several times until the hair is completely black.

5. To display the "background" layer and use the Pen tool to check out the contour and fill the black with a larger area of black on the edge of the character and the interior of the hair.

6. Select all layers except the background layer and right-click "Convert to Bitmap".

7. Select the converted black bitmap, press ctrl+x cut, then select the "Background" layer, right-click "edit--> Paste as Mask", so OK.

Below is the effect of adding a background image.
