Graphics Question

[Joel]

I know that fireworks is not a print graphics application. but if i had
something i created in fireworks and i wanted to convert from RGB to CMYK.
are there any tutorials or websites that address that issue? or maybe
someone here can tell me. (i have photoshop as well, I just dont use it
much)

Export from FW as TIFF24, then open the TIFF in Photoshop, convert to
CMYK mode, and save. Some colors will be changed, since CMYK cannot
reproduce as large a range as RGB.

don't forget to find out what resolution you need to work in from the
printers e.g. 300ppi or whatever and do that from within fireworks before
exporting as tiff. otherwise if you work at 72ppi in FW then you'll have
really naff looking printing!
