Photoshop Vs Fireworks?

What program is most suitable for template designs?

I personally prefer fireworks for templates and photoshop for image manipulation and now that Adobe owns Fireworks, you can save your files as PSD and edit the layers in Photoshop!

 

I agree with your preferences.... Fireworks is much easier for creating graphics with but PhotoShop (as its name suggests) is much better at manipulating existing images like... erm... photos.

Unfortunately PhotoShop has been a status symbol in the design world (like using a Mac) for a long time and so inevitably will be the program of choice for most.

 

think that firewoks is more appropriate, photoshope is better for pictures and photos

 

Photoshop is a more powerful program and is seen as the standard in the design world, but I personally prefer Fireworks. Whichever you are good with, use.

 

Anybody here use Illustrator? It is what I use most of the time, and I was wondering how it compared to Fireworks. I have never used Fireworks.

 

I use it for digital art. Can you create vector templates with shadows with that though?

 

photoshop rules, why use 2 progs when one adequately does everything

 

I personally find Photoshop easier to use but always understood Fireworks to be better for image conversion for web design?

 

thats a myth photoshop can cope with all the formats ive ever used Eps, psd, pdf, you name it and way more

 

hummm...i love firewoks,i think that its more light

 

think outside the box..

use both

 

i find photoshop to hard to use as i got it and didnt even know were to start. i think this might just be because i didnt mess around with it.

 

I'm addicted to photoshop, and I don't think I'll go to another program.. it would take a lot of convincing ;-)

 

Yeah but it still cant open the formats we actually need...like PNG files (with layers intact)

 

If you love me you would convert to Fireworkism

 

I like them both, but I will probably always prefer photoshop over fireworks.

 

I like photoshop and photoshop. But I usually use photoshop by default.

 

ive never had probs opening PNG's, sure your using it right

PS Photoshop CS series rules

 

photoshop is the best

 

Personally I think Photoshop 7 was great enough. It used a lot less memory and my computer was happy running it (yes my computer is bad). Now it is a little less happy to run CS3 and too be honest there aren't many more functions for the price payed to upgrade.
