Dot Edged Frame in Fireworks MX 2004
This image effect comes under the category Alien Skin> Edges.
It has a few edge options such as dots, lines, lumpy, pixels, rough and torn paper. Choose images which have dark colored edges, so that the edge effects will have a crisp look. Follow this tutorial and learn how to give a dot edged look to an image. You need to have Fireworks MX 2004 installed in your system.
Step 1
Start off by pasting an
image on the canvas.
Step 2
Select the image and click on Filters>Alien Skin Splat LE>Edges as you see in the
image below.
Step 3
The Alien Skin window below will
be displayed. Select Halftone Dots
option from Edge Mode.
Step 4
Adjust the Edge Width, Margin and Feature Size sliders.
The values used here are: Edge Width - 55, Margin - 0, Feature size - 71, Direction - 90 and Random Seed - 20. If you need a transparent
fill for the image, you can check the option Transparent
Fill, which will deselect the color option and the image
has a white background. You can view the changes
in the image simultaneously on the right side Preview area.
Step 5
Below is the picture with a dot edged frame and a transparent fill.
When the Transparent Fill checkbox is not ticked,
the color option is made active so that you can select a color. I've selected orange, and this is the final image.
