Do you use Adobe/Macromedia Fireworks

[mkeefe]

Simple question, Do you use Fireworks, if so, what for?

[kiwicolin]

Does once in a blue moon count?

[mixedupmacandpc]

no, don't understand it. did not install it when i installed mastersuite, if it was even there. looked like a photoshop wannabe with better animation features. but what do i know...

I have had Fireworks since MX2004 together bundled.

Then when I got my Acer laptop, Macromedia Studio 8 was bundled free. But I have never once touched Fireworks.

The only times, when you accidentally click on an image in Dreamweaver, it will open Fireworks, does that count as use?

[mixedupmacandpc]

Ha Elaine, that counts! Perhaps ur type of user makes up the majority of the user base That's exactly why I did not install it this time around. I did not want to be an occidental user.

A lot of Fireworks features go unknown, this is more obvious now. haha

Try it sometime, you will like it. Or wait for CS4

[mixedupmacandpc]

Mkeefe, wuz up? In Cs4 when you click on a .psd is it going to bring up Fireworks?
ps. I tried it once when owned by Macromedia, I hated the interface. But someone pray tell what it actually does besides animation and optimization?

Think of the missing ImageReady, add steroids and you have FW

[mixedupmacandpc]

Ha! i have never missed imageready. its in PS as animation palette and save for web no? so what do these steroids do but disqualify u from the Olympics? Seems to me that adobe did not have the guts to kill it and add the function into PS. But I guess it makes their "Suites" sweeter -looking to the novice and the unaware.
