Now is a Good Time to be a Fireworks Evangelist

I could not imag­ine my cre­ative process with­out Adobe Fireworks. I have been using that appli­ca­tion since ver­sion 2.0 some­time in 1999. 10 years ago, Fireworks was not an obvi­ous choice but the work­flow advan­tages over Photoshop were imme­di­ately evi­dent to me and my cre­ative process never was the same.

Mucking Up the Fireworks?

A lit­tle while ago, Jason Santa Maria wrote a very inter­est­ing post about Photoshop and Fireworks (as well about Adobe in general…) in which he brings up many good points to which the pow­ers that be at Adobe should pay real close atten­tion. First, he admits that, although Photoshop is the Adobe appli­ca­tion he uses the most as he designs Web sites…
