I know absolutely nothing about Fireworks. Your tutorial gave me some insight as to what it is used for. Thanks for your time!

Thanks for the tut, very nicely done. I love the action figure by the way, what is it?

Quick question- what’s the advantage to using the free transform vs. resizing the image?

Thanks again,
J

The Action Figure was on a table in front of a shop in the 798 Art District in Beijing:-)

As for your question I prefer to do stuff by the numbers and Free Transform really doesn’t allow that. If you simply want to “eyeball” it, which I also do, the Free Transform tool is the choice.
