The quick and easy way to get up-to-speed with Macromedia's smash-hit Web graphics application. Macromedia's Fireworks is the world's leading dedicated Web graphics application for both Mac and Windows, with an installed base of approximately 250,000. Fireworks 4 is positioned as a professional vector and bitmap editing tool that lets users produce graphical Web pages, modify all types of graphics, slice images, build HTML tables, produce interactive JavaScript-based rollovers and much more. It is sold separately and as part of a bundle with Dreamweaver 4. Although Adobe PhotoShop has in the past been a primary tool for Web graphics, more and more Web designers are using Fireworks. The explosive increase of Web sites ensures increased use of Fireworks in the future, particularly as the Web becomes more visual and effects-driven.
