Advantages: Ease of use, animation and compression

Disadvantages: None

Fireworks is an excellent product for creating Logos, Banners and GIF Animations. It is not a very simple program to use initially, but after a few days of learning you soon get the hang of it. I have now created all of the Logo's, Banners and Animated Images for my web-sites using this product. I used to use Paintshop Pro, but I now use Fireworks all the time, the main reason for this is the export wizard which allows you to export your images in many different formats and a preview is displayed showing the different formats. Also the ability to create animations in the same program is great (without having to startup a seperate program to do the animations). I bought this product as a bundle with Dreamweaver 3, therefore it was excellent value for money. Anybody wishing to create lots of images for web-sites really should have a look at this product, even if you only use it for it's export wizard functionality.
