includes a few shortcuts that incorporate Fireworks image-editing capabilities and enable you to edit an image in tandem with Dreamweaver. To edit an image in Fireworks from within Dreamweaver, click to select the image and then click the Fireworks icon (the yellow circle labeled FW in the Properties inspector) to open the image in Fireworks. Edit the image in Fireworks and when you save it, your changes are reflected in Dreamweaver. See Chapter 5 for more on working with images in Dreamweaver, such as the built-in cropping tool and image map features. You can find instructions for working with Fireworks in Chapter 10.
