Macromedia Fireworks 8 Retail Box Fireworks 8 lets you balance maximum image quality with minimum compression size as you create, edit and optimize images for the web with precise control.

Why Fireworks 8

Make graphics look their best under any delivery scenario with optimization features like export, preview, cross-platform gamma preview, and selective JPG compression.

Slice up a Fireworks page layout and export the entire page, or selected slices (including graphics, HTML, and code for rollover effects) to an HTML editor (such as Dreamweaver or Microsoft FrontPage).

Automatically generate graphics and JavaScript for buttons, interactive interfaces, and pop-up menus without learning how to write code.

Access commonly used image editing tools, filters, and menu commands in a central location.

Fireworks 8 now supports import of QuickTime Image, MacPaint, SGI, and JPEG 2000 file formats (QuickTime plug-in required for QuickTime support).

Streamlined file renaming, the ability to check file dimensions when scaling during a batch process, and the addition of a status bar and log file, are just a few of the workflow optimizations.
