RE: learning fireworks

Ray,

After you resize your image you can hit the "Fit
Canvas" button under
properties (at the bottom of your screen)or you can
"Select Canvas Size"
to match your newly sized image.

Hi Ray,

While I don't have Fireworks on hand to directly check this,
I think I
know the problem you're having.  Fireworks uses layers, and
so if you
just resize an image using the handles on a picture, you're
resizing
the layer, but not the _canvas_.  To resize the whole image,
look in
the menus for something like "resize image" or
"resize canvas."  (I
could tell you where to look in Photoshop, but that wouldn't
do you
any good!)

Cheers,
Andrew
