Just a quick note I thought I’d share since I struggled with this for a while. Converting a bitmap to vector in Fireworks is pretty straight forward(at least in my case). Here’s how
- Select the magic wand tool from your tool box
- Click within the area you need to convert to a vector, the magic wand should “magically” find the area and place a marquee around the selection
- Now within the marquee area Right Click->Modify Marquee->Convert to Path
Easy as that, I’m sure this doesn’t cover all possibilities and situations, but I’m not graphic designer.. so don’t ask too complicated of questions for me :)

Used it to convert my image in FW into a vector, only to discover the site I use doesn’t recognise PNG vectors grr!
Anyway, thanks – you are partially to blame for this tshirt now! http://allaboutchris.spreadshirt.co.uk/my-other-car-A12963615
