Hi all,
I've recently purchased Adobe Creative Suite Web Premium CS4 and have been developing my photoshop, illustrator and dreamweaver skills. However I've only ventured onto fireworks once or twice just in curiosity and wondered which people use it, what it's good at and in which ways is it better then photoshop/illustrator? If it's a useful alternative tool with different features, then I'll learn it, but if it's just a combination of photoshop and illustrator I think I'll probably pass. |

To be honest, just ignore fireworks.
In the past I used Image Ready, but that's now been pretty much integrated into Photoshop so that should suit pretty much all your needs. I think fireworks may be good for image maps, but how many folk use those nowadays! |
