Fireworks going off.

Fireworks

Adobe Fireworks (formerly Macromedia Fireworks, also known as FW for short) is a bitmap and vector graphics editor, developed by Macromedia and aimed at web designers (with features such as: slices, the ability to add hotspots etc.). It is designed to integrate easily with other Macromedia products, such as the popular Dreamweaver and Flash, and is bundled in the Macromedia Studio 8 suite.

In December 2005, Adobe completed the acquisition of Macromedia. How the two product lines will merge is still under speculation. Fireworks is most similar in purpose to Adobe ImageReady, in that it is designed specifically for web-based graphics, with somewhat limited print-based capabilities. Unlike ImageReady, Fireworks features vector editing capabilities, and a more robust feature set overall. (source: Wikipedia 12/3/06)
