USING FIREWORKS CS4
Optimizing and exporting
The preview displays the total size, estimated download time, and file format of a document. The estimated download
time is the average amount of time it would take to download all the slices and states on a 56K modem. The 2-Up and
4-Up views display additional information that varies depending on the file type selected.
You can optimize an entire document or only selected slices while viewing a preview. The slice overlay helps you
differentiate the slices currently being optimized from the rest of the document.
When slice overlay is on, the slices not being optimized are dimmed.
