Sketch looks nice, but seems like more of an Illustrator competitor than a Fireworks or PS replacement. Also, how does it handle PSD import. PSD is pretty much the standard for layered image sharing and FW opens PSD's near-perfectly.
- pionar 13y agoI think the OP was talking about replacing Fireworks' excellent vector editing abilities.
- jvzr 13y agoIt's definitely a Fireworks replacement: slices export, CSS export, etc. It functions like Illustrator in the way that it uses a board (group of assets) rather than a limited canvas (a single asset), but it is not a software for doing illustrations or whatever you call what Illustrator does (not native speaker here, obv). Edit: it does @2x automated exports too, for instance. Quite handy for iOS coding or responsive design. I've never had to open PSDs with Sketch, so I can't tell. If you have any question, feel free to tweet their account on twitter: I hear they are reactive and very friendly. And definitely close to developers and designers: a lot of the features added this year have come from user suggestions. Can't tell the same story with Adobe...
- dubcanada 13y agoSketch doesn't yet support PSD. PSD format is a little bit of a complex format to support. However they have made it clear that it is a very high priority on their list several times. So it will come eventually. It's more of a Fireworks or Illustrator replacement then a PS replacement. It doesn't come with all the lovely filters and stuff PS has. It also doesn't have the complexities of Illustrator. But if you are a web developer, it has some of the best tools for that specific development. Icon design, web design, buttons, etc. are all a snap to create.
