    Have Adobe dropped Fireworks?

    I just noticed there is no CS5.5.

    Its shame if they do, PS is overkill for most of the things I do and I prefer to just use Fireworks for day to day stuff....

      Fireworks lol last time i used fireworks my definition of filters was the alien skin plugin .

      Anyway, fireworks 5.1 comes with 5.5 master suite. That update came around june or july of last year, too soon to update fw again.

          once they moved "save for web" into PS that was pretty much the end of fireworks for me.

                      Yeah, but it was not upgraded to 5.5 like the rest of the Master Suite. They just included the 5 version.

                                      they didnt drop it, no major changes through in the 5.5 creative suite.

                                              I have fireworks 5.1 as part of my Web Premium but I honestly don't think I have ever used it, or looked at it. Use PS for Web Images and used to use Image ready for Gifs.

                                                      ya i used imageready to resize animated gifs, but since they stop making that, fireworks can do that if you werent aware, just load, and resize.

I guess its days are numbered but as long as I have my original install discs this will always be my number 1 image editing choice.

Not to mention FW was awesome when doing text and logos. I haven't used any of the new versions of PS but I always felt much more comfortable with FW over PS.
