Macromedia Fireworks 8 Win/Mac Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Whatever people tell you about the power of Fireworks, do not listen! This software is like finding Photoshop CS4 for only $200. It does nearly exactly the same things, for less. On top of its powerful graphics and image editing features, you also get a great software to create flash web pages. If you are looking to buy Photoshop, don't! Take a long hard look at Fireworks first!
