Macromedia created Fireworks MX as a complete graphics applications aimed towards Web designers. It offers more advanced image control than existing packages, such as Photoshop or CorelDraw, for work that specifically relates to the Internet. Fireworks enables web designers to produce high quality images, export them in a variety of file formats while retaining excellent file size compression.

Fireworks MX surpasses other rivals as it also enables you to edit text, graphics and effects at any stage during production. Fireworks MX also simplifies the process of making JavaScript buttons with mouseover effects, all combined with automatic HTML generation.

Macromedia Fireworks MX is obviously aimed squarely at web designers who are currently restricted by the limitations of Photoshop and the endless workarounds that are necessary to convert images accurately to the web.

The combination of excellent vectors and bit-map tools, exporting capabilities and powerful Web-specific features ensure its success with Web designers. Though its interface suffers from a mass of palettes and toolbars, like Macromedia 's other product Dreamweaver, this can be easily forgiven considering the remarkable features that it offers.
