My Opinion on Adobe Fireworks

written by grex on 2018-04-10 08:05:01

Overall

Ease of Use

Customer Service

Value For Money

Overall Opinion: Since Adobe Fireworks comes included with a subscription to the Adobe Cloud Suite, this software may be worth checking out for any artists with an existing subscription. Adobe claims the Fireworks software is not meant to replace their more powerful software such as Photoshop, however. Fireworks is a handy tool for people who want to add ease into creating graphics, but similar products can be created using other software.

Pros: Task Automation Artists who plan on using Adobe Fireworks to create a large amount of graphics will find this feature handy since it allows you to automate specific tasks, saving you time and energy. Powerful Optimization Firework's optimization tools allow artists achieve the perfect balance of quality and size in their graphics. The software allows users to select their own optimization settings as well depending on the specific requirements of the project they are working on. This helps to automate the feature allowing future projects to have the same exact size and quality settings.

Cons: Ended Support and Updates Adobe has stopped updating the Adobe Fireworks software and no longer offers support for it as well. The software can still be downloaded with a subscription to the Adobe Cloud Suite, however, it is not offered by itself. Purchase Required Much like any other Adobe Cloud product, this software is no different in price. Adobe does offer a one month free trial for any artists who may be thinking of purchasing the product. On the plus side, any artists who already use Adobe cloud for their other software such as Photoshop or Premiere Pro, downloading Fireworks would be free of cost.
