Use an external image editor
While in Dreamweaver, you can open a selected image in an external image editor; when you return to Dreamweaver
after saving the edited image file, any changes you made to the image are visible in the Document window.
You can set up Fireworks as your primary external editor. You can also set which file types an editor opens; and you
can select multiple image editors. For example, you can set preferences to start Fireworks when you want to edit a
GIF, and to start a different image editor when you want to edit a JPG or JPEG.

Start the external image editor
❖
Do one of the following:
•
Double-click the image you want to edit.
•
Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) the image you want to edit, then select Edit With > Browse
and select an editor.
•
Select the image you want to edit, and click Edit in the Property inspector.
• Double-click the image file in the Files panel to start the primary image editor. If you haven't specified an image
editor, Dreamweaver starts the default editor for the file type.
Note: When you open an image from the Files panel, the Fireworks integration features are not in effect; Fireworks does
not open the original PNG file. To use the Fireworks integration features, open images from within the Document
window.
If you don't see an updated image after returning to the Dreamweaver window, select the image and then click the
Refresh button in the Property inspector.
