Reducing graphic width

    I have a gif file that is 850px which I want to reduce to 760. It has a shadow on the left edge and one on the right too. If I use a scale tool, it will also scale down the size of the shadow, which is not what I want. Effectively, I want to take a bite out of the center so that the left and right shadow come closer together.

    How can I do this?

    I am using Fireworks.

    Thanks,

    Jon

    Using PS (not sure about FW):

    open new document with the correct width you want
    place the gif
    duplicate gif
    cut what you don't want
    mix together
    export as gif

    Hope it works in FW :)

    For me should be something like this:
    Using Photoshop :
    Open Image>Select&Cut the Image (Without the Shadows)>Paste>Scale (The Layer with the image)

    and u r ready :)
