Design and optimize with ease: Forget the format and focus on the art. Fireworks CS3 makes it easy to create and edit both vector and bitmap images and to apply a range of effects and blend modes to capture a unique look and feel. Batch process your images to achieve consistent size, format, and quality in a minimum amount of time. Balance quality and image size with the exceptional optimization tools.

Prototype your vision: Save time and accurately share your vision with colleagues and clients using a full complement of web prototyping tools. Start with a rich common library of assets, or easily create your own. Share layers across multiple pages, and instantly make global changes across multiple pages. Create interactive prototypes with working hyperlinks. Fireworks CS3 integrates well with other Adobe software, so you can easily leverage your work from concept to final delivery.

Enjoy intelligent integration: Now your tools will play well together. Enjoy impressive integration with other creative Adobe software, including Photoshop CS3, Illustrator CS3, Dreamweaver CS3, Flash CS3, and Adobe Flex,™ as well as Adobe Bridge and Adobe Device Central CS3. Exchange designs, assets, and even code between applications without compromising fidelity.

New features: Create and edit vector and bitmap images, and import and edit native Photoshop and Illustrator files. Optimize graphics for virtually any delivery scenario with preview, cross-platform gamma preview, selective JPEG compression, and a wide range of export controls. Organize and manage your prototypes with a new hierarchical layer structure—similar to the one in Adobe Photoshop—that enables you to easily organize web layers and pages. Apply lighting effects, shadow effects, styles, and blend modes, including seven new blend modes from Photoshop, to add depth and character to text and symbols. Copy any object in Fireworks CS3 and paste it directly into Dreamweaver CS3. Create popup menus that can be saved as CSS and HTML. Export Fireworks (PNG) files directly to Flash CS3 while maintaining vectors, bitmaps, animations, and multistates, and then edit in Flash CS3.
