Akiraprise, did you install the prerelease beta version of Fireworks that Adobe had on their site about 6 months before the release? If so that fucks up the licensing system and you need to run the CS4 cleaner script.
Then again Fireworks CS4 seriously is worthless, I mean what use is a program that keeps shifting your text around when you ungroup things or edit them. Stick with CS3 and hopefully Adobe will get the message they have to start putting more effort in if they are gonna charge that bullshit price

- Photoshop for hardcore graphical awesomeness
- Fireworks for quick, concise web designing graphic action
Use the two together if you can and you'll reach a higher state of supreme being!

lol... its a mystery to me... I could see in the early hay days of photoshop but since cs2.... does it really need to still be?

I switched from pshop. It's definitely worth it.

i'm going to go out on a limb and say, it's because some people prefer a stripped down web-only web-ready toolset to the massive application that is photoshop. especially if they're only web developers.
i could be wrong. maybe people just dig the name. go figure.

Fireworks is great - I didn't see the value of it at first either - but for making quick web mock-ups to present to clients - nothing beats it!

Animated GIFs.

Fireworks is more widely used than you think. I don't understand why people get so upset about it. If you don't use it, then stop whining, some of us do.

You should start a blog about all this shit

fireworks pngs retain vector data, retain preset rounded corner sizes when free transforming boxes

i have Fireworks because i can't open animated gifs in Photoshop CS3 to edit them. Photoshop is only good for creating some simple frame by frame animations.

Another vote for Fireworks.
Using Photoshop for web is like using Illustrator for web.
It's just fucking dumb. :)

it would be nice if Adobe realised how widely used it was and stopped breaking it/making it worse/wasting time on Air and Flex integration bullshit.

Is there much that it does that photoshop doesn't do? I must admit Iv only used if for animated gifs.
