hI DJ Dubovsky,
I use Photoshop 6 so I don’t know about Photoshop 7’s ability in web design but you asked what Fireworks has to offer.
Fireworks is a vector-based editing tool, but it also has the ability to function in bitmap editing mode. It offers tight integration with Dreamweaver and other Macromedia products for the Web, including Flash.
Fireworks automatically generates HTML and JavaScript code for rollovers, image maps, and image slices.
It has the ability to import and export layered Photoshop (PSD) files, and import Illustrator, Freehand, and CorelDraw files preserving vector edibility. And export SWF and Adobe Illustrator formats.
It also features a pop-up menu creator, step-by-step button maker, selective JPEG compression, text on a path, live animation, and unlimited history (undo/redo).
And as I’ve said in my previous thread all Photoshop plugins can be used in Fireworks. So there are advantages but the downside is it only supports RGB colour.
