About Adobe Fireworks Training

Why Fireworks?

Adobe Fireworks is a bitmap and vector graphics editor. It is made for web designers for rapidly creating beautiful designs for websites and mobile apps, without writing code. Deliver vector graphics and bitmap images, mock-ups, 3D graphics, and interactive content for popular tablets and smartphones. Its features also include sclices and ability to add hotspots.

The main features of Adobe Fireworks are:

• Layers Hierarchy:

Like Photoshop It has a Layers Panel Hierarchy and all the layers can be accessed through it. The Layers can be of greater size than the images but the output image is defined as  per the boundary set by the main image.

• Grouped Symbols:

Designers can create elements called Symbols and designate them as such across the documents. When such a designated Symbol is edited or worked on the changes reflect on all the Symbols across the pages.

• 9-Slice Scale: 

Adobe Fireworks with the help of 9-Slice Scaling makes sure that rectangles that have rounded edges get exported as such without any distortion.

• Smart Rulers and Guides:

Another rich feature of Adobe Fireworks is Smart Guides. It is a set of Graphical Rulers and Scale and  Measuring Tools that designers can place on various images they are working on as Guidelines. The rulers though are automatically generated by Adobe Fireworks  and are not created by the designers themselves.

• Image Compression:

Main purpose of Adobe Fireworks is to create web friendly Image based projects. So it has been designed in such a way that it produces better compression on images than that of by Photoshop or any other similar programme.

• Adobe CC and CS Integration:

As its released part of the the Adobe Creative Suite and Adobe Creative Cloud, Adobe Fireworks can read Adobe Photoshop (.psd) and Adobe Illustrator (.ai) file formats. Encapsulated PostScript format files (.eps) can also be incorporated inside Adobe Fireworks projects.

• Frames/States:

States which was earlier known as Frame and is used for Animation purpose. With the help of States one can create Browsing Patterns with Up and Down Arrows and Buttons.

• Fireworks Export Features:

The various file formats to which Adobe Fireworks can export to are: PNG, JPEG, GIF, Animated GIF, TIFF, SWF, BMP, WBMP and PDF. It also exports to SVG and FXG 2.0 with help of freely available Extensions pack for Fireworks.

Though Adobe has officially stopped adding features to this feature rich web designing software in view of its other competing products, Fireworks till date is one of the most widely used Web Designing and Prototyping software available in the market today.
