speckyboy.com — We all know how powerful and how great Adobe Photoshop is, we know that all the best graphic designers use it, we also know that Photoshop when mastered lets you create amazing art.Sadly, we also know it is very, very expensive. What is the answer? Adobe Fireworks. Yes, it can be almost as powerful. I promise...

Or if you're actually doing something with it that makes you money, since that's who it's targeted to.

The only thing Fireworks really has over Photoshop (imo) is it's font rendering system. Photoshops font smoothing is usually down right nasty. Fireworks (and Flash) allow you to create custom smoothing which is nice because a lot of fonts look terrible at small sizes with the Photoshop smoothing options.

Fireworks is OK but it is just doesn’t compare to Photoshop. Photoshop just has so many more tools and the workspace is just so much nicer.

The way I always saw fireworks, was a jack of all trades, it can handle vector, photo editing, web creation, animation... but never really mastered any of them.
