Well I posted on 1-03 that I was going to start using Fireworks more...and well I flippin' love it! I haven't learned everything about FW (which I don't know if that is even possible) but its pretty easy to use once you stop trying to use it like Photoshop. I had that same problem when I worked with PS then tried using Illustrator like PS...was a little frustrating at first.

But FW is definately where its at. You can easily edit something in DW by just selecting and image or a table and clicking EDIT. FW launches, make your changes, and magically DW updates. There are a lot of other great features too like finding a replacing colors in FW that PS doesn't have. PS isn't really designed for true Web work and FW is...so once you get used to it, as I have, FW cuts down on time, which is always a good thing.

I did not know you can design a site with photoshop, I have always though its a graphic manipulation software

Fireworks for Web site layout, Photoshop for Graphics and Dreamweaver for code.

The new Dreamweaver makes CSS coding a LOT easier than the previous versions. I save a lot of time designing web sites now!
