Fireworks is Adobe’s image editing software for the web designers. It excels in several areas over its big brother Photoshop, namely in high-fidelity prototyping of sites and a workspace environment that’s optimized for web designers. It is also a raster and vector hybrid, being able to work with raster-based images and vector-based graphics better and more symbiotically than Photoshop.
Fireworks is a popular tool of choice for many web designers and was once voted as one of the top tools for web designers.

  3. Photoshop is considered a ‘go-to’ option for professional designers. The advanced photo manipulation tools cover everything from typography to 3D modeling to drawing. This means there is quite a bit of a learning curve so be prepared to invest not just a bit of money but a significant amount of time into learning how to use it.
