...for DAVID M, vp at MM

[Christian]

....i apologize ahead of time for all the people that get bummed that

this does not relate directly to 'flash'.....but i do not know how else

to get this message to David M.


david, you referneced the newsgroup for fireworks and i checked it out.

the very newest record i saw was on "resizing an image" and there were

27 different posts concerning this issue, so i find it a very "valid"

comparison.   anyway, here is the response that was given by one of your

own team :


"Unfortunately, you are correct--there is currently no way to resample

your

document nondestructively.

It's an easier problem in image editing apps like Photoshop since

they're

only dealing with pixels (and not objects with live fills, brushes and

effects applied to paths), but you're right--it's one of our top

priorities

for a future version.


Nevertheless, there shouldn't be a qualitative difference between

resampling

your file and then exporting vs. resampling as you export (which

Fireworks

does).

...i just can't buy the pixel argument because there are many vector

tools, including freehand, that allow you to scale an image.   This

should definitly be a feature of Fireworks.  however, point taken on the

illustrator and text examples, but until there is a vector format

standard, it all becomes pixels anyway.....


...getting off my soapbox befo' i get flash flamed...
