The document's current export settings are used to create the image that is sent to Flickr, which supports only GIF, JPG and PNG files. The selected elements, or the entire image if nothing but the slice is selected, will be cropped to the bounds of the slice. Just select the slice and choose either of the Selection options in the Export menu. You can also use a slice to define the portion of the image to export. The selected elements will be copied to a new document and exported on a plain white background, which can be useful if you want to share just a logo or icon that's part of a larger design. If you don't want to include the background pixels, then choose Selection Without Background.

This will crop the image to the bounds of the selection and export just that area. If you'd prefer to upload only a portion of your image, select the elements you want to include and then choose Selection With Background in the Export combobox. Exporting part of the imageīy default, your entire image will be uploaded to Flickr. This URL is also automatically copied to the clipboard, so you can easily paste it into a browser to view the page. Once your image is live, a dialog will display the URL to its page on Flickr. Another dialog will open with a progress bar, and will remain open until your image is exported and posted to Flickr. When you're ready, just click the Upload button. The tags, privacy settings and content type are remembered across invocations of the command, so if you want the images to always be visible only to friends, for instance, the option will remain checked. You can also change the privacy settings and the type of content in the image. Here you can enter a title for the image (it defaults to the Fireworks filename), a description, and tags. Once authorization is complete, the upload window will appear.

If you ever want to revoke authorization, just go to the App's You're Using page on Flickr and remove the permissions from FlickrFire. The token that Flickr sends back will be stored in the Fireworks preferences, so you won't need to re-authorize the next time you want to use FlickrFire. After doing that, come back to Fireworks and click the I've Authorized FlickrFire button. The first time you run the command, it will open a browser page to Flickr where you can give FlickrFire authorization to upload images to your account.

FlickrFire lets you easily upload the image you're currently working on to Flickr, without ever leaving Fireworks.
