    Well, I hope that GoLive gets dropped in favor of Dreamweaver, and that some of the cool **** from LiveMotion makes its way into Flash. I epxect Flash will probably start writing to SVG now.

      Thanks for the info guys.

      I will go with the advice of Che -- GO FOR IT.

        I don't care about Dreamweaver but if they are going to drop Fireworks I'm definitely going to be pissed...

        Once again...

          Psst, they already halted development on Fireworks...

            That's no good. Fireworks is better than ImageReady. I hope they at least fold the good parts into IR.

              ImageReady doesn't really compete with Fireworks...

              Illustrator and Fireworks are more comparable.

                Illustrator is a vector graphics program, like Freehand. Both of these programs are primarily targetted at print work, but can also create graphics for web animation like Flash and SVG.

                Fireworks is a bitmap graphics program, which is really good at image compression and outputs into pngs. It is primarily for producing web graphis, like ImageReady. It's just that ImageReady comes bundled with Photoshop, and so all most people use it for is optimization and gif animation. Fireworks optimization is better, though, as is their png support.

                This is one of those few times I'll be able to disagree with you on software, Asher, and know what I'm talking about.

                Are you confusing ImageReady with InDesign?

                  Was confusing Freehand with Fireworks.

                  Fireworks, IIRC, is somewhat of a unique combination of vector and raster...it has vector functionality in any case.

                    So does that mean they haven't stopped development on Fireworks?

                      Fireworks is mainly a vector graphics program - it was when I tried it (Fireworks 4) as the built-in tools were mostly for vector graphics. The difference between Fireworks and Illustrator/Freehand/CorelDraw is Fireworks can produce movies.

                      It can handle bitmaps and most people do roll them into swf files, but that just makes the files balloon in size. Very nasty.

                        You're wrong, UR. FW is not a vector graphics program.

                          At least not completely wrong, che.

                            It's a hybrid program.

                              Yes, and Photoshop can do some vector imaging and Illustrator can print to a bitmap. That doesn't mean it's the primary function of those propgrams. You can use Word to make a spreadsheet, but why would you?

                              Also, that's Fireworks 8, which I haven't yet played with.

                                Photoshop has no real vector functionality...nowhere near what Fireworks can do.
