Often times I feel like I'm in the minority, but I rarely use Fireworks for anything. Perhaps I'm just more comfortable in Photoshop, but I often found that Fireworks didn't fit my workflow.
I've read a ton of articles on how/why I should use Fireworks for web design. Perhaps somebody could inform me on what I'm missing.
- simba-hiiipower 13y agoi'm the complete opposite. i latched-onto macromedia fireworks before adobe bought it up (probably because i managed to get it for free¹) and have never been able to comfortably shift to photoshop.. i get the sense that you can achieve very similar outcomes using either one, but just always preferred the way you do so with fireworks over photoshop and similar programs. i’m not too savvy in the design space, but would appreciate any insights into the differences between the two, particularly as it relates to workflow. ¹ should note that while i initially gained exposure to the program via less-than-legal ways, having since grown up i am now a happy paying customer. i imagine this experience is quite common and this type of exposure a net benefit to companies like adobe.
- untog 13y agoI am the reverse of you, so I can't talk with any great authority, either. But every time I've used Photoshop I've gotten sick of having to create dozens of layers for everything i do- in Fireworks everything is it's own independent, editable vector object. I just find it far, far easier.
