Re: Fireworks

How about dodge and burn? Those are two effects I have not been able to
reporduce in Fireworks.

And in Photoshop, you can select a area and just apply changes to that area-
can you do that in Fireworks? I have hunted and hunted through help sites
and their manual and can't find out how.

Thanks!
