Fireworks Feather Tutorials
Learn how to effectively use feather on your objects in Adobe Fireworks, for glows, backgrounds and more
Difficulty: 
While using pictures in designing we often don't require certain parts of a picture to be seen, or else, just need a particular part of a picture. For this we can use the Feather effect of Fireworks. Basically feather removes the otherwise jagged finish to an edited image by giving it a fading in pixel radius. This cool effect makes your pictures stand out and look really professional. There are three different methods to feather your image.
Difficulty: 
1) Create a circle size 330px x 330px; align: 41x, 40y.
Set no stroke, Fill #000000, feather 4
2) Create another circle size 329px x 329px; align: 41x, 40y.
Set no stroke, Fill #633000, set fiber texture 13%, and set these effects in this order.
-Inner Shadow, color #000000, size 91, 65% opacity, 49 softness, 257 angle.
-Inner Shadow, color #000000, size 91, 37% opacity, 91 softness, 113 angle.
-Blur
-Inner Shadow, color #000000, size 35, 25% opacity, 20 softness, 90 angle.
-Note both these circles need to be placed directly over eachother. The brown circle on top.
3) Create new circle 102px x 102px; align: 155x, 154y. Feather 21, Fill #000000, no stroke.
4) Create new circle 58px x 58px; align: 154x, 129y. No stroke, Fill #E7CFC6.
-Apply Inner Shadow- Size 16, Color #000000, 65% opacity, 20 softness, 301 angle.
_____________________________________
The overall order should be large black circle on very bottom, large brown circle above that, small black circle above that, and small tanish circle above that.
From there you can easily change the fill of the large brown circle to any color eye, and adjust the texture to better suit your needs.
