The West Cheek
I’ve always kind of chuckled at the South Butt knock-off of the North Face brand.
I decided to design a knock-off knock-off.
Ta-da!
Never Stop Kissing It.

Spriglet #13 – Posterize a photo in Adobe Fireworks
Adobe Photoshop has a nice posterize command built-in. Not so in Fireworks. I searched high and low for a nice way to do it. In desperation I posted an entry on the official Adobe Fireworks message board and Ilya Razmanov was posted exactly what I needed.
Here’s the steps with pictures to illustrate his technique:
1. Open a cool photo in Fireworks (Yes, Ray Allen is cool, if you didn’t already know).

2. Add this effect: Adjust Color -> Levels

3. Set the max value in Output Level to 4
4. Add another effect: Add this effect: Adjust Color -> Levels. This time set the max Input Level to 4
6. Voila! Here’s what you get. You can tweak the levels on both sides to get the amount of posterization you want.
