- I really dont understand why some people always talking bullshit about adobe photoshop. There is nothing you can do in fireworks that you cant do in photoshop. I know Andy say that he can make the same graphic with a few less steps i fireworks, but I am not quite shore to that either. Also the vector format works out very well in photoshop if you know how to handle it. And yes, I use both of them and I know there is a lot more power in photoshop compares to firework.

Are you serious?
Photoshop is fantastic for most things but is truly lagging behind for web-based stuff. And I've always loved Photoshop. But after spending 2 hours learning Fireworks (I kid you not) I've not looked back. - Toolbox Digital | Dribbble | Forrst

I love Fireworks for the quick and dirty stuff. I began way back with PageMill and Photoshop (my firs site was one LOOOOONG image - LOL! I bet you can guess I came/come at this from the designer POV?
I have photoshop, and use it regularly, but I think it is handy to have the fast options that fireworks offers. - --

fireworks and photoshop while delivering pretty much the same end product are different
would be interesting to know (just for me) if fireworks is preferred by mac users over photoshop or if it had nothing to do with anything else but the software. as a pc user i prefer fireworks over photoshop and find that fireworks does everythign i need it to do (i'm not a designer so probably only know about 5% of what each application can do anyway)
i will say this ... i hated having to have photshop and imageready open to do something ... - www.c3p0.se - sweden

I know Photoshop much better than Fireworks, so, naturally, when I want to do something, my first instinct is to do it in Photoshop.
That said, with the little bit of playing around with Fireworks that I have done, I will concede that, when it comes to preparing graphics for the Web, Fireworks is a fast, one stop solution.

Not sure how this thread became a photoshop vs.fireworks rant, but I'll go ahead and add to the mayhem and join the melee :
Love Photoshop/ Illustrator/ Imageready for print mediums but love Fireworks for web grfx !
(o.k. there I added 2 cents)

It really is a question of what type of projects you typically work on. I use both Photoshop and Fireworks as I do quite a bit of photo/bitmap manipulation along with my web design. I used to use Photoshop for everything, and doing an entire layout with hundreds and even thousands of layers comprised of mostly vector elements and text can be cumbersome and hard to work with. Photoshop is also sorely lacking in vector support and non destructive editing (this is addressed in the new CS3).
This is an area where Fireworks excels, and when it comes to the world of Joomla template design where you are creating designs consisting of hundreds of elements (mostly vector shapes, gradients, etc) spread across multiple color variations and styles in a single source file; Fireworks is extremely efficient, much easier to manage, and easier to quickly manipulate and make edits. Not to mention the slice and exporting support, native png support, etc for web graphic exporting and utilization.
You really will use both if you are doing a lot of web design, as Photoshop is much more powerful for bitmap manipulation (as that is what it is designed for). But, if you are working primarily with editing existing joomla templates, or creating your own templates or designs. Fireworks will save you a lot of time, and give you quick and easy control over the multitude of elements that you will confront in these template designs.
My 2 cents

Well, that would be 2 cents in Rockettheme currency; which at current conversion rates would be....hmm...carry the 2....eleventy bajillion US dollars.
But yeah, this thread has gone off topic in spectacular fashion
