Sites about my favorite web layout program. A vector/raster app, Fireworks is just like Illustrator with some Photoshop-like functionality. At its core it's a vector based app just like Illustrator, but it can edit raw image pixels directly just like Photoshop.

Fireworks was designed from the ground up specifically for the task of creating Web site layouts and graphics in an efficient and flexible manner. A hybrid vector/raster app, it is a creative powerhouse that can really do it all, from the creative visual design stages to the slicing, optimization and export of finished Web graphics.

Fireworks is just like Illustrator with some Photoshop-like functionality. But at its core it's a vector based application just like Illustrator or FreeHand but unlike those two apps it can edit raw image pixels directly just like Photoshop. That makes Fireworks a hybrid vector/raster application with a primarily vector based workflow.
