Vector and bitmap editing:
Create and edit vector and bitmap images, and import and edit native Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator files
Image optimization:
Optimize graphics for virtually any delivery scenario with preview, cross-platform gamma preview, selective JPEG compression, and a wide range of export controls
Efficient Photoshop and Illustrator integration:
Import Photoshop (PSD) files while retaining hierarchical layers, layer effects, and blend modes
Rapid prototyping:
Prototype interactive layouts for websites and rich Internet applications. Export website prototypes to Adobe Dreamweaver and RIA prototypes to Adobe Flex
Multipage support:
Use the new Pages panel to create multiple pages in a single document (PNG file), and share layers across multiple pages
Hierarchical layer organization:
Organize and manage your prototypes with a new hierarchical layer structure - similar to the one in Adobe Photoshop - that enables you to easily organize web layers and pages
Filter effects:
Apply lighting effects, shadow effects, styles, and blend modes, including seven new blend modes from Photoshop, to add depth and character to text and symbols
Common library:
Jump-start your prototyping with a common library of graphic symbols, text symbols, and animations frequently used in web applications, forms, interfaces, and websites
Intelligent scaling:
Intelligently scale buttons and graphic symbols (in vector or bitmap) with 9-slice scaling. Combine 9-slice scaling with the new Auto Shape library to accelerate website and application prototyping
Streamlined Dreamweaver and Flash integration:
Copy any object in Fireworks CS3 and paste it directly into Dreamweaver CS3. Create pop-up menus that can be saved as CSS and HTML. Export Fireworks (PNG) files directly to Flash CS3 Professional while maintaining vectors, bitmaps, animations, and multistates, and then edit in Flash CS3 |
