Fireworks is the definitive solution for professional web graphics design and production. It is the first production environment to address and solve the special challenges facing web graphics designers and developers.
You can use Fireworks to create, edit, and animate web graphics, add advanced interactivity, and optimize images in a professional environment. In Fireworks, you can create and edit bitmap and vector graphics in a single application. Everything is editable, all the time. And you can automate the workflow to meet the demands of time-consuming updates and changes.
Fireworks 8 is an application for designing graphics for use on the web. Its innovative solutions tackle the major problems facing graphic designers and webmasters. Using the wide range of tools in Fireworks, you can create and edit both vector and bitmap graphics within a single file. The advent of Fireworks freed web designers from having to jump back and forth among as many as a dozen task-specific applications. Its nondestructive Live Filters eliminate the frustration of having to re-create web graphics from scratch after any simple edit. Fireworks generates JavaScript, making rollovers easy to create. Efficient optimization features shrink the size of web graphic files without sacrificing quality. If you are new to Fireworks, it would be helpful for you to understand general Fireworks concepts such as opening, importing, and saving files; finding your way around the Fireworks environment; and working within a file. After you create a new file or open an existing file, the Fireworks work environment is available to you.
Fireworks is a versatile application for creating, editing, and optimizing web graphics. You can create and edit both bitmap and vector images, design web effects such as rollovers and pop-up menus, crop and optimize graphics to reduce their file size, and save time by automating repetitive tasks. When a document is complete, you can export or save it as a JPEG file, GIF file, or file of another format--along with HTML files containing HTML tables and JavaScript code--for use on the web. You also can export or save a type of file specific to another application, such as Photoshop or Macromedia Flash, if you want to continue working in the other application.
