Hue/Saturation adjustments

This effect allows to adjust the color, it's purity (which is referred to as saturation), and the lightness of the color in an image.

When you check the Colorize checkbox the image will be colorized, you can create interesting effects like "old" photographs in the Daguerreotype style. You can also add color to grayscale images.

Remember, that when effects are applied to a bitmap objects as live effects they are actually part of the vector level. Therefore they always stay editable.

Plug-ins

More and more Photoshop plugin-ins work with Fireworks. File can even be imported/exported to/from Photoshop and the effects will be transferred when both programs have the appropriate plug-ins installed. There are many more effects in Fireworks which we cannot go into since it would exceed the scope of this tutorial.

HANDS ON:
Open the image of the butterfly and experiment with the different filters and live-effects that Fireworks offers.
