Fireworks, by manchestermike on Feb 13, 2007 13:31:16 GMT 1, I've been trying to apply the stencil-revolution tutorial to fireworks, but I'm only learning the products - how do you do this on fireworks?
www.stencilrevolution.com/tutorials/tutorialsview.php?id=4
All of the tutorial translating would help, but especially this part:
This is the part where there are a few ways to get a similair end result, but I think is one of the easiest and also most accurate. Select the 'colour range' of your image(fig.5)
Basically what is happening here is that photoshop will 'select' a desired colour, highlight, midtone or shadow of your image. Because for this example we are creating a single layered stencil of the positive areas you will need to select 'shadows','selection' and 'greyscale' from the selection preview. Just set your Colour Range palette up as shown in (fig.6)Click OK.

Fireworks, by absyrd on Feb 13, 2007 14:48:11 GMT 1, I don't know fireworks at all, but maybe you can try to look for a Posterize, Cutout, or Photocopy type option. With the right brightness and contrast, these all work to almost the same effect.
Or are you looking for the detail they say you get out of doing it that particular way? I clear backgrounds and unwanted areas by zooming in super-close and just doing it by freehand. That way I can get the exact shapes I want and not make any "islands".

I hope it helps.
And I can't emphasize enough that if your broken down image doesn't look right, that you go back to the original image and mess with the brightness and contrast before applying any filters. I've been taking pics of my old paintings, drawings, etc in order to make quick stencils out of them. My digital camera sucks ass and produces a strange range of lightness and blurriness, so those tools come in very handy.
