i know a lot of you use photoshop. and i use fireworks mainly cause i havent been able to afford photoshop yet.

but does anyone know the difference between the two? which one is better?

im trying to figure this out before i spend all my money on photoshop... ermm.gif

ive messed with fireworks a bit, don't know much about it. but for personal preference, Photoshop, because (atleast to me), its more prone to be learned easier.

this was a topic once before...

Photoshop is more graphic intense...you can do alot more with pics

Fireworks is best for extras...such as pop-up menus, swapping image rollovers, and image slicing.

They are both excellent programs and if you can afford and know how to use them both, it is extremely powerful!!

I Like To Use Both Programs, But Photoshop To Me Is Much Easier To Use Than Fireworks...

well i myself preffer 3d studio maxx, but you know thats just me! but anyways, photoshop to me is better because theres much better image editing options, plus you can do more to an image. and for slicing, i use notepad so i dont really use either for that.

I've never used photoshop but I want it though. I use Fireworks. It's pretty good if you know what you're doing. But I still wanna try Photoshop cause I know Photoshop can make better graphics.

I prefer PS7, because PS7 has more effects and brushes. Firework is for quick jobs. PS7 is for more graphic images.

I prefer Photoshop, its has more brushes and options. Fireworks I mainly use for imagemaps and simple things.
