Fireworks in the workflow

Although Fireworks greatly reduces the need for other
applications within the graphic creation workflow, it is
highly compatible with other applications associated
with producing web graphics.
Import graphics created in applications such as
FreeHand or Photoshop, and edit them using
familiar tools and similar document-organization
features such as layers and frames.
Export optimized graphics, HTML, and JavaScript
for use in Dreamweaver or in a web browser.
Import and export a wide variety of file formats.
Use Export Preview to quickly determine the best
balance of size and quality for exported graphics
without switching to and from a browser.
Batch process all files within a folder and name and
save export presets.
