Fireworks is Adobe's bitmap and vector graphics editor and some of its new and improved features include:
- New capability to create your Adobe AIR prototype directly within Fireworks, ready to be deployed to HTML and CSS, Adobe Flex, or SWF. Easily convert your click-through mock-up.
- Now with PDF export capabilities - generate high-fidelity, protected PDF documents from your Fireworks comps for client communication. Help safeguard your designs with password protection - separate passwords can be created for viewing and other tasks such as printing, copying, and commenting.
- Now with CSS export capabilities - design complete web pages in a robust graphic environment and then export standards-compliant, CSS-based layouts, complete with external style sheets, in one step. Integrate foreground and background graphics with new slice types.
- Improved Common Library, a repository of graphic symbols, form elements, text symbols, and animations frequently used in web and software applications, interfaces, and websites. Expand your collection with your own custom symbols and styles for continued rapid design.
- New ability to easily switch from other Adobe Creative Suite 4 components - such as Adobe Photoshop CS4, Illustrator CS4, and Flash CS4 Professional software - thanks to a universal user interface design.
- Enhanced typesetting capabilities of the Adobe text engine which allow you to import or copy/paste double-byte characters from Illustrator (CS3 or CS4) and Photoshop (CS3 or CS4) without loss of fidelity. Float text inside a path for high-impact logos.
- Improved styles panel which you can use to choose between default Fireworks styles, current document styles, or styles from other libraries. Multiple style sets can easily be accessed.
- Now you can access the latest color themes from the Adobe Kuler web-hosted service right in Fireworks to sample and apply to your web designs. Craft color harmonies for your own use or to upload to Kuler.
