Export from the workspace

After a graphic or document has been optimized, you can export it (or save it, depending on its originating file type).

You can export (or in some cases, save) a document as a single image in GIF, JPEG, or another graphic file format. You can also export the entire document as an HTML file and associated image files, only selected slices, or a specified area. In addition, you can export Fireworks states and layers as separate image files.

The default location to which Fireworks exports files is determined by the following, in this order:

  1. The current export preference of the document, which is defined if you've ever exported the document and then saved the PNG

  2. The current export/save location, which is defined anytime you browse away from the default location presented in a Save, Save As, or Export dialog box

  3. The location of the current file

  4. The default location where new documents or images are saved on your operating system

    In contrast, the default location where Fireworks saves a document is determined by a different set of criteria. For more information, see Saving Fireworks files.
