Vector and bitmap editing

Create and edit vector and bitmap images, and import and edit native Photoshop and Illustrator files.

Image optimization

Optimize graphics for virtually any delivery scenario with preview, cross-platform gamma preview, selective JPEG compression, and a wide range of export controls.

Photoshop and Illustrator integration

Efficient Photoshop and Illustrator integration

Import Photoshop (PSD) files while retaining hierarchical layers, layer effects, and blend modes. Save Fireworks (PNG) files back into Photoshop (PSD) format. Import Illustrator (AI) files while retaining graphic integrity, including layer, group, and color information.

Rapid prototyping

Prototype interactive layouts for websites and rich Internet applications. Export website prototypes to Adobe Dreamweaver and RIA prototypes to Adobe Flex.

Multipage support

Multipage support

Use the new Pages panel to create multiple pages in a single document (PNG file), and share layers across multiple pages. Each page can contain its own slices, layers, frames, animations, and canvas settings, making it easy to simulate website flow in a prototype.

Hierarchical layer organization

Organize and manage your prototypes with a new hierarchical layer structure--similar to the one in Adobe Photoshop--that enables you to easily organize web layers and pages.

Filter effects

Filter effects

Apply lighting effects, shadow effects, styles, and blend modes, including seven new blend modes from Photoshop, to add depth and character to text and symbols.

Common library

Jump-start your prototyping with a common library of graphic symbols, text symbols, and animations frequently used in web applications, forms, interfaces, and websites.

Intelligent scaling

Intelligent scaling

Intelligently scale buttons and graphic symbols (in vector or bitmap) with 9-slice scaling. Combine 9-slice scaling with the new Auto Shape library to accelerate website and application prototyping.

Streamlined Dreamweaver and Flash integration

Copy any object in Fireworks CS3 and paste it directly into Dreamweaver CS3. Create pop-up menus that can be saved as CSS and HTML. Export Fireworks (PNG) files directly to Flash CS3 while maintaining vectors, bitmaps, animations, and multistates, and then edit in Flash CS3.
