It looks pretty good as it is but you could always edit it by hiding or revealing parts of the underlying image until you are satisfied. This is something that is simply not possible when using the old fashioned method as the pixels that are gone are gone for good and the only thing you could do is remove more pixels. There are many methods you can use to create a vector mask. The one shown in this tutorial is effective because it avoids the need to draw complex shapes with the Pen tool which would have been the only way to create a mask for this image in prior versions of Fireworks.
But how would you go about removing more complex backgrounds. A lot of times, you would use a technique that is similar to the one we used here but you would build your selection by adding up smaller areas. With our ring image we were lucky that this was a simple two clicks process, one click inside the ring and a Shift-Click outside the ring to add that area to the inside of ring selection.
You can save any bitmap selections you need and restore them at any time to continue working. A saved selection will still be available after you transform it to a vector shape so use them freely.
The object you want to keep may have more areas of similar colors than the background and you may try to select it directly.
Just remember that the final mask shape should cover the object you want to keep. In order to see better how your vector mask shape covers the underlying image, use the technique I describe next. Instead, Photoshop draws your paint strokes as a translucent red film over the underlying image. It works really well and let you see clearly how well your edits improve the vector mask shape.
This is a very useful technique that I use all the time myself. Using it will dramatically improve your vector masking work as well.
As you can see, creating complex vector masks is easier than ever with the new features in Fireworks 8. If you liked this article and would like to read more like it, please join my mailing list to receive my latest reviews, tutorials and news about WordPress and related topics.
