Fireworks
MX® Overview
is the primary tool
of the Web designer.
This is where every website begins.
Fireworks MX® is a powerful graphic
design program that focuses exclusively on the production
of images for the Internet . It affords the web designer
a new level of freedom by incorporating the ability
to create and edit both vector and bitmap images with-in
the same document and easily integrate animation and
complex JavaScript behaviors into their websites. The
real strength of the program lies in its ability to
optimize finished graphics for publishing to the web.
The optimization tools allow for a perfect balance of
image quality and file size. Fireworks MX® allows the designer
to streamline the work process through the use of its
various library, template and style features. Finally,
Fireworks MX® generates the necessary HTML for display of
images exactly as the designer intended them.
