1. Get Images 2. Organize Images  

You will need to adjust the organization of your images. Fireworks is a vector-based graphics program, so you do not have to use layers like you would in a program such as Photoshop.

First select the bowl by clicking on it with the Black Arrow tool. Drag the bowl to the bottom of your image.

You will want the bowl to be on the top of the canvas. Right click on the bowl. Choose Arrange - Bring To Front (Ctrl-Shift-Up).

Bring To Front

Now place the apple behind the bowl. Select the apple with the Black Arrow tool and move it over the bowl. Right click on the apple and select Arrange - Send to Back (Ctrl-Shift-Down).

Send To Back

Now you have the bowl set on the front of the canvas, and the apple set on the back of the canvas. The grape will be in the middle because there are only three parts to the image.

For more complex images, you can use Bring Forward and Send Backward for further organization.

Select the grapes with the Black Arrow tool. Move the grapes into the bowl, so that they slightly overlap the apple. Your final image should look like this.

Fruit Bowl

Now to save the file click File - Export Preview. Because this image has a transparent background, we will save it as a GIF file. Use JPEG if you do not want a transparent background.

Choose GIF as the Format. Choose Alpha Transparency from the drop box at the bottom. Finally, hit Export, and choose where to save the file. Your network drive (H:\) is a good place to save your files.

Export Preview

Now your final image should look similar to the one below.
