Plug-ins from the Filters menu
When you install an Adobe Photoshop plug-in in Fireworks, it is added to the Filters menu and to the Property
inspector. You should use the Filters menu to apply filters and Photoshop plug-ins only when you are certain that
you will not want to edit or remove the filter. You can remove a filter only if the Undo command is available.
Installing Photoshop plug-ins
You can use the Property inspector to apply some Photoshop plug-ins as Live Filters. Not all Photoshop plug-ins can
be used as Live Filters. You can also import Photoshop plug-ins by pointing to a plug-ins folder using the Preferences
dialog box. For more information, see “Folders preferences” on page 348.
When you share a Fireworks file in which a Photoshop plug-in is applied as a Live Filter, whoever opens it can view
the filter only on a computer in which the plug-in is installed. Built-in Fireworks filters, however, are saved with the
Fireworks file.
To install Photoshop plug-ins:
1 In the Property inspector, click the Add Filters button, then select Options > Locate Plugins.
2 Navigate to the folder where the Photoshop plug-ins are installed and click OK.
3 Restart Fireworks to load the plug-ins.
Note: If you move the plug-ins to a different folder, repeat the above steps, or select File > Preferences and click the Folders
tab to change the path to the plug-ins. Then restart Fireworks.
To apply a Photoshop plug-in to a selected object as a Live Filter:
❖ In the Property inspector, click the Add Live Filters button, then select a filter from the Options submenu.
Applying Photoshop layer effects
You can also apply some Photoshop layer effects using the Add Filters pop-up menu in the Property inspector. If you
import a PSD file, you can also edit layer effects that already exist in the file.
To apply Photoshop layer effects
1
In the Property inspector, click the Add Filters button, then select Photoshop Live Effects.
2 Select one of the effects in the left-hand pane, and then edit the settings in the right-hand pane. You can select
multiple effects at once.
3 Click OK to apply the layer effects.
About applying filters to grouped objects
When you apply a filter to a group, the filter is applied to all objects in the group. If the objects are ungrouped, each
object’s filter settings revert to those applied to the object individually.
You can apply a filter to an individual object within a group by selecting only that object with the Subselection tool.
For information on selecting a group or objects within a group, see “Selecting objects within groups” on page 58.
