Photoshop :: Photoshop For Web Graphics Vs Fireworks...

Oct 21, 2008

I'm a web designer / developer and I've always used fireworks to create my graphics for buttons, or backgrounds of web sites.

I'm aware that photoshop is apparantly the tool of choice for most pro web designers, but. How the heck can you size things in Photoshop (CS3)???! Sounds like a daft question, and sounds like an extremley basic task, but I cannot find how / where to do it in photoshop.

Say I need two shapes to be the same width, and I'm creating two images, how do I set the two shapes to be 100px wide for example? I don't mean the canvas, I mean a shape within a canvas.

Photoshop :: VS. Fireworks

Sep 27, 2008

The way i see it that photoshop is a great program and so if fireworks, i have used fireworks since the days of Macromedia Fireworks MX and i have just started to use photoshop within the past year or so. when i got Photoshop CS3 and Fireworks CS3 I found that fireworks has a wider selection of styles for fonts and what not than photoshop has. so for me Fireworks is a bit better.

Photoshop :: Fireworks

Feb 10, 2004

Looking at the education price for each license, Fireworks is much lower compared to Photoshops...which is a PLUS.

I understand Photoshop is the leader in image editing but Fireworks can do what Photoshop does, right?

Which would you personally recommend out of the two?

I doubt I have time to learn both program and once I start, I would like to remain with that program.

Photoshop :: Fireworks To PS Questions

Dec 6, 2007

I have noticed some annoying things about initial interaction with PS that I wanted some quick feedback on:

* I know PS can not use layered PNG. Is there any tool out there that can convert these to PSD with layers intact? I have a ton of old work that is in that format and will cry if I have to recreate everything.

* I noticed that the select tool is very picky in PS. If I am working on a layer or object, I can not select out of that object to activate another layer or object. I have to confirm changes (annoying pop up) and select the object or layer from the layer panel....EVERY TIME. Is there a way to change this behavior?

* The text tool is defaulted to show in PT. Is there a way to change this to default in pixels? I am using Photoshop for the web in most cases, not print.

* The status bar (bottom left in Mac) can show document dimensions, but it is always in inches. Can I change this to pixels?

Photoshop :: Ditch Fireworks For...

Jun 29, 2009

I switched from Photoshop to Fireworks back in 1999 - because of its mix of Vector & Raster editing, slice/export and GIF animation capabilities. But... my command of Photoshop and Illustrator has suffered. I feel there's so much I could do with those tools not only for for print, but also for websites. I tried going back to Photoshop a few times over the years but just couldn't manage its drawing tools - maddening!---------------------However, I'm now seriously considering switching if PS does what I need... and more. PS pros Most web design job ads specify PS and AI not FWsI need to be adept with PS and AI for print etc. I'm fossilizing!Assets and Artwork are often PS and AI files, it'd be good to share files with others in the company without probsIt'd be good to use the same app and sometimes the same files for web and printRaster Image editing is more advancedMore 'painterly' in its capabilities.Feels like I need to move on and upskill as a designer PS cons Can I draw in PS as easily as FWs? - or will I need to awkwardly integrate Illustrator into the workflow?Is it as easy to make animated gifs? (perhaps I should do it in Flash)Learning curve So here it is: Why should I make the switch to Photoshop?

Photoshop :: Fireworks To Dreamweaver

Nov 30, 2003

I've made some mock up pages in PS and then sliced them in Fireworks and published. It works.

I have a few questions.

1. How should you add the content in Dreamweaver? I inserted a layer box and that worked, but...

2. Should I "punch out" areas for content? And then just put the correct color in the cell that is left?

Photoshop :: CS6 - Snap To Invisible Grid Like Fireworks?

Nov 12, 2012

I'm currently using Photoshop CS6. Currently I have my Grid set up for every 10 pixels and 1 subdivision for each. I know how to use the "Control + ' " shortcut to toggle the Grid on and off. When I have the Grid turned on, items will snap to it. However, when I have the Grid off, items won't.

This was one thing I really liked about Fireworks, was that it would continue to snap to a Grid even if it wasn't visible. Any way to accomplish this in Photoshop?

Photoshop :: Importing Vector Content Into Fireworks

Feb 7, 2006

why can't I directly import an illustrator cs2 file into macromedia fireworks mx or macromedia fireworks 8, or save the document as a illustrator 8 file and import that?

Or is there a special way to import other vector ....

Xara :: How To Import PNG Files With Layers From Fireworks

May 21, 2011

I have 10 years worth of .pngs with layers that I created using Fireworks. I recently rebuilt my system and really really didn't want to install/reinstall any Macromedia software in the new system so I got Photo & Graphics Designer 6.

It looks great for editing photos, however I still need to get to the individual layers of some graphics that are in Fireworks .png format.

Is there some conversion/import in any Xara software that accesses the layers? Any other raster program other than Photoshop or Fireworks.

VideoStudio :: Create Animated Fireworks And Burning Edges

Aug 13, 2011

I'm trying to create a fireworks display in VS4. I downloaded BluffTitler DEMO and have tried it there, but wonder if there is a way to create them in VS instead? To be precise, the "fireworks" display I'm trying to create is actually made of ice cubes. I've downloaded a great ice cube photo, one cube, which I'll have to duplicate numerous times, yes? Will VS4 animation be able to do this?

I'm also attempting to create a burning edge effect for some photos, like each one is burning up. I've tried the "burn" transition and it's not what I'm looking for. I'm trying to make the photos look like the edges are on fire.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X3 :: Export Text Or Graphics As EPS Files - Vinyl Cutting?

Mar 18, 2012

why (sometimes) when I export text or graphics as .eps files to my cutter it cuts the same outline up to four to five times and ends up cutting right through the backing paper. I have been using postcut with various corel editions since 1997 with no problems until recently. It also cuts random lines through lines of text which is such an expensive pain in the ass.

I started to use the production manager in flexi sign to cut my designs and same thing happens, except for the random lines but it will make up to five cuts on some objects. All text and graphics are exported the same. Has something in corel newer versions changed in relation to this?
