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 :Oh crap.

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.

wasnt that was image ready was for?

It's been so long its a bit of a blur lol.

It was bundled in with CS5.5 master suite

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

yeah it is blurry.....forgot all about image ready :1orglaugh

but i remember i sued to do most of my animated gifs in fireworks. and yeah, image ready for jpg compression

but now that is all in PS.

Edit: Wrong Thread.....

I still use Fireworks for some stuff like animated .gifs

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

they did drop imageready which a lot of designers used in the past

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.

Didn't they just move all the functionality into Photoshop?

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.

Thanks for the heads up I will take a look, I really should probably use more of the software I am paying for in any case :upsidedow

its still useful for animated gifs, but that is literally the only one thing I can think of that its good for!

same here, i bought creative suite master collection, but the only programs i have used, are photoshop, media encoder, and flash, i only started using fireworks cause someone on here mentioned the resizing feature.

Bump from another Fireworks fan. I agree that for graphics design for the web its much faster and easier to use than Photoshop. 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.

The Fireworks batch tool kicks serious butt

Wow 2 yr old thread bump. I used Fireworks since 2001 but yeah its gone, you gotta use an old version.

I always used fireworks for my web design, it was always more user friendly and having vector tools was great. 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.

CS5 is ancient at this point too.

Fireworks is not part of the Creative Cloud Master Suite (which is basically CS7).

Just noticed the old thread bump. Got me.

I have the Creative Cloud set up right now and am looking at Fireworks CS6 as we speak.

Are we talking about different things?

Also, would you mind sending me a screenshot of your Plex settings screen for the buffer and whatnot?
