Rapidly prototype and design for the web

Combine the power of vector and bitmap tools—Design with vector and bitmap tools together to achieve optimal imagery quickly. Enjoy pixel precision that maps to your resolution requirements, using graphics tools designed for screen-based output.

Produce better screen graphics, faster—Create rich, interactive screen graphics with fewer steps. Create and name slices efficiently, and then deliver superior-quality graphics optimized for the web and a wide range of devices.

Design once for multiple deliverables—Quickly optimize designs for websites, rich media applications, and mobile devices. Edit assets from other graphics programs for wider deployment with Fireworks.

Integrate client review into the design process.

Top reasons to upgrade to Adobe® Fireworks® CS5

• Extensive performance enhancements—Improve efficiency with faster performance, an updated graphic toolset, and greater control over pixel placement. An enhanced workflow for design and prototyping provides smooth and consistent operation.
• Pixel-precise rendering—Keep designs crisp on a wide variety of screen resolutions with pixel-precise rendering. Improved definition means objects in vector and bitmap modes appear sharper, even when converted from one mode to the other.
• Supported workflows with rich media applications—Export objects, pages, or entire documents to the Adobe Flash® family of software to develop interactivity. The XML-based FXG export format helps ensure that your rich media application creations are precisely converted and ready for interactive implementation.
• Extensibility improvements—Customize scripts for exporting, batch operations, and FXG formats with the expanded extensibility API. Increase productivity and control by specifying client-specific output formats in automated batch processing.
• Design templates—Save frequently used designs as templates that can help jump-start future projects.Share templates with other members of your design team to improve consistency and increase productivity.
• Adobe Swatch Exchange support—Match colors precisely with designs from other Adobe graphics applications via Adobe Swatch Exchange (ASE). Import an ASE file from Adobe Photoshop® or Illustrator software or Adobe Kuler,® the Adobe color community, to develop compatible designs and jump-start your creativity.

 

Top reasons to buy Adobe® Fireworks® CS5

• Easy-to-use design tools for screen-based design—Create and edit vector and bitmap images, or import and modify native Adobe Photoshop® and Illustrator® files. Changes remain editable at any time, and final output is optimized for display resolutions.
• Sophisticated prototyping—Design interactive layouts for websites, mobile, and rich Internet applications (RIAs). Reduce development time by exporting multipage, clickable website comps as standards-compliant, CSS-based layouts, and bring RIA prototypes into the Adobe AIR® runtime without writing code.
• Improved performance—Work faster with significant performance enhancements, including greater control over pixel placement of design elements, improved file opening and saving, updated symbol operation, and quicker bitmap and vector operations.
• Intelligent integration—Import Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator files while maintaining color matching, element fidelity, and editing capability. Export Fireworks designs into the Adobe Flash® software family
• for advanced interactivity design. Copy and paste objects between Fireworks and Adobe Dreamweaver® software.
• Enhanced optimization and scaling tools—Optimize graphics for a wide variety of screen types with preview, selective JPEG file compression, and comprehensive export controls. Intelligently scale buttons and graphic symbols with 9-slice scaling to accelerate website and application prototyping.
• Effortless client collaboration—Demo with two-way video communication in real-time online meetings with the Adobe ConnectNow service. Generate clickable PDF files or interactive HTML comps for review.
• Create Adobe AIR prototypes to run on any platform.
• CSS and HTML file export—Design complete web pages in a robust graphic environment and then export standards-compliant, CSS-based layouts—with external style sheets—in one step. Integrate foreground and background graphics with distinct slice types, and utilize repeating images.
• Customizable and reusable assets—Jump-start your design process with the Common Library of graphic symbols, form elements, text symbols, and animations. Design your own custom symbols and styles for continued rapid design and prototyping.
• Improved type handling—Produce exceptional type designs with the enhanced Adobe text engine. Copy and paste double-byte characters from Illustrator and Photoshop software without loss of fidelity. Float text inside a path and more.
• Developer productivity tools—Save development time with quick asset creation and image optimization. Also rely on Fireworks for batch processing of graphical elements.
