Comments from those who selected Fireworks as one of
their Top 10 Tools in 2008
- "There are lots of graphic apps out there, and
Photoshop is often touted as the industry standard, but
nothing comes close to Fireworks when it comes to
developing graphics for the web."

Comments from those who selected Fireworks as one of
their Top 10 Tools in 2007
- "some great image editing
features"
Pam Atkins
- "Has come a long way from its early
days when vector and bitmap editing was quite separate
and confusing. Now it's all seamless and it's certainly
an ideal tool for web work"
Wendy
Phillips
- "it communicates very well with flash
and it's easy to work with"
Paulo Gingao
- "i enjoy the 'batch editing' trick: you can lighten
and optimise a folder full of images. Expensive,
unless you have statewide educational licensing
deal."
