Replacing an image placeholder using Fireworks
As discussed in Chapter 9, when designing a page, you can defer the task of inserting final artwork by using
image placeholders instead of actual images; then, at the appropriate time, you can replace these image
placeholders with the actual images. Working this way can facilitate smooth, trouble-free interaction
between your Web site design and graphics departments.
To use Fireworks to replace your Dreamweaver image placeholders, follow these steps:
1. In Dreamweaver, open the page that contains the image placeholder you want to replace.
2. Select the image placeholder and click the Property inspector Create button. Or simply Ctrl+double-
click (Command+double-click) the image placeholder.
Fireworks launches and creates a new, blank PNG file whose canvas size is set to the width/height
of the placeholder image, as shown in Figure 24-8.
