Photoshop Vs Fireworks

Featured Replies

Hello Everyone,

 

I have seen most of the designers use photoshop to design websites. :diablo: My boss also insists that it is a good tool for designing websites. I prefer Fireworks but it does not have good image editing options (there is not path in Fireworks to edit the images.) Which software do you prefer to use for designing websites? :flm16:

I don't know where you heard that from - Photoshop, Fireworks and all other image editing software is for creating images/graphics not designing web sites!

 

Web pages are primarily a text based medium that also happen to support display of images and other forms of media.

 

Anyway, for my image editing work I've used Photoimpact for the last 10 years :)

I totally agree with bluedreamer, web sites are an amalgamation of text and images, structured using HTML. You would/should only be using an image editor to product elements for an web site, like header graphics, list bullets, background images, etc.

 

As for Photoshop over Fireworks, this is all up to personal preference, but both piece of software have a strong following. Neither is "better" than the other. You should be using whichever find you find easiest to use.

Ok, well my point above is still valid - it all depends how which program you prefer using and find easiest. I know people that happily produce graphics in both.
