Placing Fireworks graphics in Photoshop

Fireworks provides extensive support for exporting files in Photoshop (PSD) format. Export
settings let you control which elements in the file remain editable when you reopen it in
Photoshop.
A Fireworks image exported into Photoshop maintains the same editability when reopened in
Fireworks as other Photoshop graphics. Export options for editability, appearance, and file
size let you determine the best possible export procedure for your particular graphic.
Photoshop users can work with their graphic in Fireworks and then continue editing in
Photoshop.
