I've never used Fireworks. In Paint Shop, I'd use a gradient - using the background color, if it's a solid color. If the background's not a solid color, I'd try creating a mask with the gradient, although I can't say I've ever done that.

Simplest way would be to have two layers-your background color in the back-image on top-then erase (top layer) using a large brush with a feathered edge. Your background color will show in the areas you erase, and you can vary the gradient with the brush size or feathering.

You can apply a mask to the top layer and use a white-to-black gradient on the mask. Where the mask is white, the top layer shows; where it is black, the underlying layer shows; grays show partial transparency.

>>>Commands -> Creative -> Fade Image It's that easy in Fireworks? Which version would that be, and how far does that capability go back with Fireworks versions?
