Blurring and sharpening bitmaps
Fireworks has a set of blurring and sharpening options that you can apply as Live Filters or as irreversible, permanent
filters.
Blurring an image
Blurring softens the look of a bitmap image. Fireworks has six blurring options:
Blur softens the focus of selected pixels.
Blur More blurs about three times as much as Blur.
Gaussian Blur applies a weighted average of blur to each pixel to produce a hazy effect.
Motion Blur creates the appearance that the image is moving.
Radial Blur creates the appearance that the image is spinning.
Zoom Blur creates the appearance that the image is moving toward or away from the viewer.
Note: Applying filters from the Filters menu is destructive; that is, it cannot be undone except when Edit > Undo is an
option. To maintain the ability to adjust, turn off, or remove a filter, apply it as a Live Filter, as described in the first
bulleted option in each of the following procedures. For more information, see “Using Live Filters” on page 147.
