Photshop generally works with bitmaps, not vectors. This feature can be a huge advantage when you are designing Apps for iOS. Fireworks will not just change the dimensions, it will also change the attributes from the applied effects. a drop shadow) to that object and you scale the object up, the effect will scale too. This is great but even more awesome is that when you’ve applied an effect (e.g. This means that when you scale up or down you won’t loose any quality. When you create an object in Fireworks (whatever it is), this object is basically a vector object. I guess that’s the reason why so many web designers decided to learn Photoshop instead of another design application – good marketing Adobe! The little big differences Vectors or Bitmaps Everyone knows you can do anything with Photoshop. Photoshop became popular as a big, mighty tool for creating and manipulating digital artworks over time. You can use Photoshop to produce screen graphics but also for advanced print stuff. While Photoshop offers many ways to manipulate photos, it has a lot of built in features that can be used for web/interface design.

This is one of numerous reasons why you should never use Fireworks for print (I’ve tried it more than once).

Since I launched the website FireworksLab (a free resource page for Adobe Fireworks files) some weeks ago, I have received various mails from people looking for a reason why they should use Fireworks instead of Photoshop. In some cases this was just useless bashing of one product, whilst in other cases there were some good points regarding when and why to use one of these Applications rather than the other. During the last months and years we have seen countless posts on popular Blogs about which application is better – Fireworks or Photoshop.
