There are some "rules" regarding color harmonies that you will find very helpful for this case and any future ones you might have regarding colors.
Color combination is really the most important part of color theory
and designing with colors, and also the hardest-- It always comes down
to your personal judgement and how you look at colors. There ...

If I understand correctly, you want to be able to sample a colour in one programme (PhotoShop) and have this go direct to the keyboard, say as a hex representation. Then you will be able to paste this directly into Fireworks, or indeed any programme that requires a colour as text. For this you require an external utility. The best I have found is Jay Prall's ...

The programming framework you are using has no bearing on the resolution of images you are using.
For on screen graphics, resolution in the context of pixels/inch is determined by the device itself. All you need to do is make the image the pixel size you want it to be.
In other words, if you want an image 100px x 100px, set up your photoshop file to be ...

There is a quite old thread on Adobe forums where speculation is made that it's because Fireworks is a screen-specific tool and this behavior might change in the future.
However, you can change the limit.
Make sure that Fireworks is closed, open Fireworks CS6 Preferences.txt file located in:
Windows 7/Vista: ...

That is because you are using the wrong tool. The tool name "Export Area" means you select an area of the image and ask Fireworks to export that whole area out.
If you want to use native tool, that will be export the selected object by using the slice tool.
This is all you need to do
First, select the object.
Right click to get the context menu
Choose ...

Not a direct answer, but to achieve the same result I use the Export Selection extension. that lets you select something and export with white or transparent backgrounds. Before that I used to copy & paste into a new document with the To New Document extension

The game has changed. From Microsoft Expression's site:
Expression Design is now available as a free download from the Microsoft Download Center, and no new versions will be developed. Customers who previously purchased Expression Design as part of Expression Ultimate or Expression Web will receive support through the established support lifecycle.
So, ...

I provide a link to an image (I cannot upload here cause Im new user) with the 3 simple steps. It is all done in vector, therefore scalable. No bitmaps.
Hope it helps someone.
Cheers
PS - Obviously, where I say "know" in the 3rd step, I meant "need". :)

I haven't used Fireworks in a long time. I just use GIMP, but Fireworks should work.
In the example image you have provided, the distortion is so little I would just Blur it.
Way #1
try this:
Select the area you want to effect and copy it to a new layer.
Create a highly transparent black box narrow enough and centered vertically for top and ...

There is. Use the rectangular Marquee tool to select a section of the image. Copy the section. Choose Edit > Deselect, and then switch back to the regular pointer tool. Choose Edit > Paste to drop the copied section over the original image. With the pasted section selected, choose Blur > Gaussian blur from either the main toolbar or the FW live filters. Draw ...

There are third-party renaming applications that will do a better job; Fireworks won't help here probably.
Maybe you can try http://sourceforge.net/projects/freefilerenamer/ ? :-)
[EDIT] I have just tested Free File Renamer (see link above). It worked fine! :)
open the app;
click on "select folder" and browse to the folder with the *.fw.png files;
select ...

It is much better to use Fireworks. All you need to do
Save or export the noise texture as gif
Select the background object.
Browse to the texture by clicking the "Texture" dropdown
Turn on the transparency by checking the "Transparency" checkbox
White pixels in the noise texture will disappear
Optional - Set the % value to set "Amount of Texture" overlay ...

There is a method that pretty much allows you to do this without thinking at all:
In photoshop:
IF necessary, Ctrl+L and bring the upper white arrow to the center enough, so that you will get white background ( Also, you might want to bring the top black arrow towards the center to make the black colors black ) ( This step is not necessary in this case ...

When you open one of the grids system template, the layers are setup in this order:
Baseline Grid
Sidebars
Columns
The blue color guidelines are actually lines drawn in the Baseline Grid layer. They are not the Guides. So any layer objects you move near them, it will not snap. They are just visual guides use for align vertical spacing of elements. We ...

Sounds like you're describing Fireworks masks (the equivalent of a clipping mask in Illustrator).
In Fireworks:
Put the vector you want to crop the image over the image where you want it cropped.
Cut it (it remembers where it was)
Select the image to be cropped
Edit > Paste as Mask.
This crops the image to that shape. Unlike chopping it up manually ...

Try creating multiple layers of the image, each with a vector/layer mask revealing one of the square areas. From there just vary the transparencies of each layer and add a little inner glow effect to give it the ghost/airbrush look. Looks like the color/contrast/saturation is tweaked a little also.

Assuming you've drawn the line using the Line tool(N), you have a path with a point at each end. To make a shallow curve, you can just add a new point in the middle:
Click and drag on the line using the Pen Tool(P) to pull out a new bézier point. Line the handles up with the existing line so that it still looks straight, then select the new point using ...

1) In PS CS5(and previous versions too), you can save your own workspace setups. Just go to Windows>Workspace and you can select the defaults. To make the columns pop out instead of float click the double arrows at the top of the column and that will make all the options occupy space instead of floating. once you have your workspace configured the way you ...

These answers are for Fireworks, and may be similar to PS.
Window > Use Application Frame
To save your workspace, in the upper right there is a drop-down tab that give you the option to name and save your space.

Press 'F' to change the view screen, or zoom in. That's about it, as far as I know.

This might be of help: Fireworks - Select and customize keyboard shortcuts.
Fireworks lets you use keyboard shortcuts to select menu commands, select tools from the Tools panel, and speed up miscellaneous tasks that do not exist as menu commands.
Select a shortcut set
Select Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts (Windows) or Fireworks > Keyboard
Shortcuts (Mac OS).

Go ahead and keep your over-sized vector version but duplicate it and scale down in your vector app of choice (Illy or Fireworks). There's no need to jump to Photoshop unless you need some extra functionality it provides (like gradient dithering).
If exporting an actual size drawing from your vector app doesn't solve the problem, there are a couple of ...

Seems like compound path is not supported.
But i am able to get it working by
Do a "Split Path" - this will turn every element into a separate path object
Select the 2 background object and do a "Punch Compound Shape" using the Property Inspector
this is to divide the outline from the rest
see result - http://cl.ly/0H3v423K0j3S

Another quick way to do it in Photoshop is to:
Create a new Document (with a white background)
Create a new Layer (Cmd+Shift+N)
Apply the Filter > Noise filter and set it as you like
Double-Click the (New) Layer or select Blending Option in the Layer
Panel/menu
Set the Blend If This Layer's white point value to around 213—222
Hide the Background layer

Another way of handling this is:
Create the shape, line, or path and set your appropriate stroke amount.
Select the path and click "Modify > Alter Path", and make sure you set the amount of expansion to the total width of pixels you'd like for the path'd stroke.
Make sure you have your stroke set to inside, and this should be your initial stroke converted ...

This appears to be possible now. Steps I took:
Created Master Page
Created child page
When viewing child page, go to layers pallet and click "New/Duplicate Layer"
Drag your new layer below the Master Page Layer
At first glance, or when you only have 1 layer on your new child page, it seems that the Master Page Layer MUST be at the bottom of the layers on ...

If you are trying to keep it "simple", you shouldn't be trying to create The Whole Website in Fireworks...
Converting your design to html even for a simple site is not gonna work out for you right now. ..
I don't want to discourage you since you already took the initiative to start learning fireworks, never a bad idea to learn something new. But you might ...

You can do this by using a transparent gradient mask.
This tutorial is quite similar, just use your background color in a separate layer underneath: http://www.mediacollege.com/adobe/photoshop/transparent/gradient.html

It really depends on each individuals preference and design workflows to choose the design app that want to design for mobile app. Both Photoshop and Fireworks have the design capability to design beautiful icons and user interface. You can first do a search on Dribbble to find works of mobile apps of people working on.
I know there are designers using ...

There are two ways, one with selections and another one with masks.
For selections, you can check this tutorial. It basically creates a shape to use as the extraction. You have to select the Rounded Rectangle tool and in the Property inspector set the roundness to the value you want. Then draw a rectangle without fill over your image, paste image inside it ...

In Fireworks properties, Ctrl + U there's this option. Uncheck it.
I don't know of a quicker path to this option (Just saying because in photoshop similar option appears after you've drawn the cropping area, but in FW, not so much.).
Or From the top menu:
Modify > Canvas > Canvas size
