Adobe Fireworks - Part One

[KyockLee123]

I've been thinking about buying this program, but do not know what it fully does. Could you please explain to me what it is used for exactly?

[PalmBreezeCAFE]

@KyockLee123 - You're looking at an older version in this video, but the product has been constantly updated. Fireworks is an easier interface to work with for web graphics. It has a lot of features for prototyping for web designs to use with clients. Currently, Fireworks AND Photoshop come with the Web CS5 Suite. Download it and try it for 30 days before you buy it.

[KyockLee123]

@PalmBreezeCAFE Thank you, but I already have Adobe Photoshop and Dreamweaver CS3. Isn't Dreamweaver used for web graphics?

[PalmBreezeCAFE]

@KyockLee123 No. Dreamweaver is for creating the pages. The graphics have to be created elsewhere. Dreamweaver does do round-trip editing with Fireworks. You click on a graphic on your page, edit in Fireworks and on your return to DW it's updated. There are lots of great features.

[KyockLee123]

@PalmBreezeCAFE Thanks a lot for clarifying this up for me. You know your stuff pretty well.

Photoshop will do

[Tutorialviewer]

hey,

whats the difference between Fireworks and illustrator?

Because you can do actually the same with illustrator.

[PalmBreezeCAFE]

@Tutorialviewer Fireworks is easier for web-based graphics and has nice optimization features. It doesn't have all the heavy, high-end features of Illustrator and is more straight-forward in basics. It also does round-trip editing and optimization with Dreamweaver.

@ameerxx12 No it's a through away app by macromedia, it's basicly a way less powerful photoshop....

[happygamestvfun1]

[Emtoeduheikel]

Annoying dude: "That's so fast, it's so fast! And it's so fast!"

Are there any other benifits? Because Photoshop is just as fast.

The most stupid thing of all is that they introduced that Fireworks is for making websites and Photoshop for editing photo's. So what are they teaching in part 2?? Photo editing!!!

[PalmBreezeCAFE]

Fireworks, like you said, is great for the web. It integrates with Dreamweaver to let you edit and optimize right from the interface. It is quick and easy to use and works with Photoshop files. This one is old. Check out the newest version.

[troglodyte3344]

@Emtoeduheikel Are you married to photoshop? lmao. fireworks is for rapid web graphic prototyping and it has many tools for web designers to make website mock ups to show to clients. it also edits images.

This product may be useful, but it is definitely not worth 300 dollars!!! It is simply ms paint with a few more options. I bet there is freeware as good as this program.

[PalmBreezeCAFE]

Chris, first off, you watched a video from a show we did over 2 years ago. Fireworks has released new versions since then and is packaged with CS4 Web.

[Netino78]

most of the video is him saying "how many things are in fireworks" and not really showing us those things, and takes a break too soon lol...the good parts are "that was so fast!"
