Fireworks CS5

Adobe® Fireworks® CS5 software provides the tools you need to create expressive, highly optimized graphics for the web or virtually any device — from smartphones to kiosks to embedded displays

• Easy-to-use screen-based design tools
  Create and edit vector and bitmap images, or import and modify native Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator files. Changes remain editable at any time, and final output is optimized for display resolutions.
• Sophisticated prototyping
  Design interactive layouts for websites and rich Internet applications (RIAs) without writing code. Reduce development time by exporting multipage, clickable website comps as CSS-based layouts. Take RIA prototypes directly into Adobe AIR® software.
• Improved performance
  Work faster with significant performance enhancements, including greater control over pixel placement of design elements, improved file opening and saving, updated symbol operation, and quicker bitmap and vector operations.
• Intelligent integration
  Import Photoshop and Illustrator files, maintaining color matching, element fidelity, and editing capability. Export to the Adobe Flash software family for advanced interactivity design. Copy and paste between Fireworks and Dreamweaver® software.
• Optimization and scaling tools
  Optimize graphics for a wide variety of screen types with preview, selective JPEG compression, and comprehensive export controls. Intelligently scale buttons and graphic symbols with 9-slice scaling.
• Effortless client collaboration
  Within Acrobat.com, conduct online meetings with two-way video communication using Adobe ConnectNow. Also, use Fireworks to generate interactive PDF or HTML comps for review, complete with clickable links.
• Customizable, reusable assets
  Jump-start your design process with the Common Library of graphic symbols, form elements, text symbols, and animations. Design your own custom symbols and styles for continued rapid design and prototyping.
• Improved type handling
  Produce exceptional type designs with the Adobe text engine. Copy and paste double-byte characters without loss of fidelity. Float text inside a path, and take advantage of many other improvements.
• CSS and HTML export
  Design complete web pages in a robust graphic environment, and then export standards-compliant, CSS-based layouts — with external style sheets — in one step.
• Developer productivity tools
  Save development time by creating assets quickly and optimizing them for multiple projects. Rely on Fireworks for batch processing of graphical elements.
