I love to use fireworks when Im designig and creating buttons, I think fireworks is the best software to do this kind of stuff.

anyway, I use photoshop to retouch photos and pics.

How about you?

i use flash and adobe photoshop for designing buttons. but no doubt i am sure fireworks will be good software. but it also can't beat flash.

I am using Photoshop.
Never got a chance to try fireworks.

Hope I could try that too for my future projects.

Well looks like Photoshop is more popular than Fireworks.
You can download fireworks 8 for free at www.macromedia.com or www.adobe.com ( 30 days free trial)

I think you have to give a chance, fireworks is great, at the beginning I didnt like too much, but as soon as I began to use Fireworks I noticed that is great to create buttons, icons and png file format has more option if you use fireworks.

well never tried Fireworks...

therefore its PhotoShop for me all the way... Smile

one think is that this type of software requires a decent processing pwoer and lots of system RAM...

Sad

unfortunately with my 512MB DDR i feel i am quite low on RAM when running the application..

Sad

Ok seems that many of you guys didn't even try fireworks .
I prefer it for some purposes .. I beleive I can do every thing using it (or at least every thing I tried or was supposed to do).

But here come the fact that some purposes is made in less time using photoshop.. This makes most people prefer photoshop as a full graphicsl solution.

But I still prefer fireworks untill I find something I can't do anyway using it ..

I think the filter of bevel boss is a great feature in fireworks which can be simulated using gradients in other applications but as I am not a professional I didn't manage to do this using any graphic application till now.

Fireworks is also simple and user-friendly as it have less tools and filters than photoshop in default.

Basically I like both of this, Photoshop & Fireworks. And if I compare then Photoshop has heavty tools and functions than fireworks. For quick or small graphics work I would strongly recommend anyone to use Macromedia Fireworks.. it is a great software. And If you are going for professional graphics work then there is better than Photoshop.

Regards,
Cruze...
