Hi group,
Thanks for your feedback. I'll have a hack in the registry once I've got the
confidence, but meanwhile, perhaps someone could answer at least some of the
following questions!
1. Fireworks is always billed as good for creating "web graphics". What
exactly is included in that term?
2. Is FW2 any good for photo editing? I only need basic (PSP5) type tools,
and the results will generally be used on the web, but occasionally I'll want
to print them onto photo paper using my Inkjet printer. Will I find myself
needing PSP to do some things? Would PSP6 do instead of FW2?
3. How does PSP6 compare to FW2?
4. Can anyone point me towards a site which shows what can be achieved using
FW? IMO, the one thing the Macromedia website lacks is a portfolio of art
produced using their products, showing what could be achieved. To see what I
mean, have a look at http://www.satoripaint.com (Information -> Gallery).
Their gallery nearly tempted me to buy their WebFX 2000 - until I tried it
out!
I like FW because of all its web features, its superb optimisation tools, its
integration with Dreamweaver (hooked on it after my 30 day trial) and the way
it supports PNG. However I don't really want to have to buy another graphics
program as well if I can help it.
Thanks to you all!
Peter.
