Fireworks wont paste image at 0,0

Hi all,

I've been experiencing this issue for ages and it's finally got to a point where I'm reaching out for some kind of solution!

I Googled the issue and a thread came up for this community, but presumably before the forum was changed as the link no longer works, the thread title was the same as I have posted above.

The issue is that if I take a screenshot, or have any image copied onto the Clipboard and then launch Fireworks, hit CTRL+N to create a new document, and then CTRL+V, whilst the Clipboard content does get pasted into the new image, it is always offset by a seemingly random amount.

Larger images seem to get offset by more, smaller ones less, but they are never positioned at 0,0 which means the first task EVERY TIME is to reposition the image - the only case where this doesn't seem to happen is when the Clipboard content is smaller than the current editing viewport.

I would be eternally grateful if anyone has a solution to this issue.

Thank you in advance for your time and help 🙂

Kind regards,
Rob

Thanks both for your replies.

I'm a little concerned as to why I need to use the Fit Canvas etc, when I have an image on the Clipboard and press CTRL+N the new document dialog opens and the sizes indicated for the canvas are correct. As an example, my laptop has a 1600x900 display, so if I press PRT-SCR to take a screenshot and place it on the Clipboard, when I press CTRL+N in Fireworks the dialog window does show 1600x900.

But the CTRL+V to paste then offsets it.

I'm happy to give your suggestions a try but the canvas size shouldn't be a problem as it is correct?

Update: So, I've just tried that, with the CTRL+0 and the canvas gets scaled to fit the window and, yes, the pasting of the image is then perfectly fitted, at 0,0...

I am lost for words! This has annoyed me for so long, so it's great to have a fix for it, I am surprised how that I can't just simply paste the Clipboard content in without having to resize the canvas to the viewport. Any ideas why I have to do that?

its a glitch in Fireworks, if you do CTRL+0 to fit the canvas to your workspace before pasting it sbould be OK.

CTRL+N for new document, then CTRL+0 TO fit canvas to screen, then paste.

If you select have an image in your clipboard and then select new image. It should be set to the size of your canvas to the clipboard size. Then pressing past will paste it at 0,0.

If for whatever reason you have a image that does not fit.. there are these options.

Choosing Modify, Canvas, Trim Canvas (Option-Command-T/ Ctrl+Alt+T), removes extra space around an image on a Fireworks document. Say, for example, you create a large

In contrast, use the Fit Canvas command to expand the size of the canvas to accommodate an image that is too large to fit into the existing canvas. To do so, choose Modify, Canvas, Fit Canvas (or Option-Command-F/Ctrl+Alt+F).
