  Ben Nadel said: "I think we need to come up with a definition for "photo manipulation." I only say that because it seems like photo manipulation is what sets Photoshop apart." Photoshop is not just a photo manipluation program. Go to CGTalk and check for example the 2D art section: http://forums.... read more »

  > am not sure why you keep bringing Dreamweaver into this discussion? In case you dind't know Ben; both Fireworks and Dreamweaver were developed to help people creating web pages. > Dreamweaver is a bloated piece of poop Just yelling "Dreamweaver is a bloated piece of poop" doesn't give yo... read more »

  > Ha ha ha, I didn't even know you could use ACDSee to edit images :) I use ACDSee as my primary image viewer, but I think the most I have ever done for editing is rotating the images.

  I've said this in other topics too; comparing Photoshop with Fireworks is like comparing apples with oranges.

It reminds me a bit ... read more »

  > I might agree with this. Why "might"? > I would also say that it works the other way as well - Not many web developers would use Photoshop for web development.

  "Fireworks has more pixel-level control than Photoshop. For example, if you draw a shape in Photoshop, there is no way to stop the edges from being anti-aliased. FW is designed with pixels in mind." You quite obviously never intensively used Photoshop Ben, otherwise you wouldn't make comments like ... read more »

  With all respect guys, but comparing Fireworks with Photoshop is comparing like apples with organges. Sure, basically they're both image editors, but Photoshop is pure image editor per se, while Fireworks is mainly focused on web design. Not many photographers would use Fireworks for image editing... read more »
