Fireworks Tutorial: Filters cleverly draw Aurora character effects

The first step: Create a new file in fireworks, the size of the custom, I built here is (531*433). The background is black, input font A (font is Arial), color (white), select Font A, convert font to Path (ctrl+shift+p). Filling: (empty), Stroke: size (6), Stroke color: (white), Stroke type: (1 element like soft), Edge for (0). Get the following effect:

Step two: Select the font, and then choose the effect--->aline skin splat LE---->edges, as shown in the figure:

Get the following effect:

Step three: Select the font click effect--->eye CANDY4000----> Action trajectory Filter, and the properties are as follows:

The results are as follows:

The fourth step: Copy 4 Good font effects, (check the font CTRL + C) Paste (Ctrl + V), the copied font effect in the action trajectory filter inside the angle properties are changed to (90) (180) (0) degrees. Get the effect as shown in figure:

The fifth step: the 4 different directions of the motion track font effect merged together, get the effect of the following figure:

Finally in the effect to do a foreground effect embellishment. The method is to modify the stroke properties of the font for the first step as shown below. can also be copied directly after the effect of the filter inside to remove the effect.

Get the effect as follows

Finally, all the effects are merged together to complete. If you want to paint the picture, put all the effect graph combinations (ctrl+g) together, adjusted with hue saturation. Paint Effect Chart:

The above tutorial is purely to provide ideas, you can also try other angles of change, you can get more results.
