New in Fireworks CS3
New Macintosh and Windows OS support Design and develop on the platform of your choice. Adobe Fireworks CS3 is available for PowerPC and Intel based Macintosh computers as well as Windows XP and Windows Vista systems.
Efficient Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator integration Import Photoshop (PSD) files while retaining hierarchical layers, layer effects, and blend modes. Save Fireworks (PNG) files back into Photoshop (PSD) format. Import Illustrator (AI) files while retaining graphic integrity, including layer, group, and color information.
Hierarchical layer organization Organize and manage your prototypes with a new hierarchical layer structure, which is similar to the one in Adobe Photoshop, that enables you to easily organize web layers and pages.
Intelligent scaling Intelligently scale buttons and graphic symbols (in vector or bitmap) with 9-slice scaling. Combine 9-slice scaling with the new Auto Shape library to accelerate website and application prototyping.
Multipage support Use the new Pages panel to create multiple pages in a single document (PNG file), and share layers across multiple pages. Each page can contain its own slices, layers, frames, animations, and canvas settings, making it easy to simulate website flow in a prototype.
RIA layout prototyping Prototype layouts for rich Internet applications in Fireworks, and then export them directly to Adobe Flex while retaining absolute positioning and styling.
Customizable assets Jump-start your prototyping with a common library of frequently used graphic symbols, text symbols, and animations. Use the new Symbol Properties panel to customize symbol attributes.
Adobe Photoshop blend modes Customize the appearance of your images with seven popular blend modes from Adobe Photoshop: dissolve, linear burn, linear dodge, vivid light, linear light, pin light, and hard mix.
Adobe Bridge integration Enjoy a more efficient workflow with Adobe Bridge, which offers central access to project files and batch processing that can include multiple Adobe applications.
Streamlined Adobe Dreamweaver and Adobe Flash integration Copy any object in Fireworks CS3 and paste it directly into Dreamweaver CS3. Create pop-up menus that can be saved as CSS and HTML. Export Fireworks (PNG) files directly to Flash CS3 while maintaining vectors, bitmaps, animations, and multistates, and then edit in Flash CS3.

Vector and bitmap editing Create and edit vector and bitmap images, and import and edit native Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator files.
Image optimization Optimize graphics for virtually any delivery scenario with preview, cross-platform gamma preview, selective JPEG compression, and a wide range of export controls.
Filter effects Apply lighting effects, shadow effects, styles, and blend modes, including seven new blend modes from Photoshop, to add depth and character to text and symbols.
Common library Jump-start your prototyping with a common library of graphic symbols, text symbols, and animations frequently used in web applications, forms, interfaces, and websites.

Fireworks - Powerful yet fun and easy to use.
Rating:
Excellent -- very pleased with the software. I had used an older version of this software (Mac format)-- very user friendly. This updated version (IBM format) is every bit as user friendly. Program allows one to do complex graphic designs with minimal effort and in a very short period of time. Excellent to do graphics for print and web. Very powerful program. Highly recommend for users who have limited knowledge of Photoshop and for those with limited graphic design experience.

Web graphics standard
Rating:
I have used photoshop for my web work since the mid-1990s and have resisted making the change to Fireworks and the learning curve involved. I finally made the switch and I'm glad I did. Fireworks is more geared to web work whereas Photoshop's focus has always been print, with web design features added. The learning curve isn't as steep as I thought it would be and Fireworks has some great tutorials to help with your transition. It really has a better work flow than Photoshop and seems to be more intuitive. I'm glad I finally made the switch. I would highly recommend the product to those getting started in web design and those ready to take on the gold standard in web design.
