Macromedia FireWorks - Version 3.0 The first production tool to provide a unified environment for creating, optimizing and producing high-quality graphics for the Web. Engineered from the ground up to address the needs of professional Web designers, the new tool incorporates such advanced features as a visual export preview, complete control over compression and color palettes, automatic generation of button states and JavaScript rollovers, as well as text and effects which are editable all the time. Fireworks allows designers to create the most compact graphics and GIF animations in the fewest steps. Other Web-focused Fireworks features include the ability to "slice" an image for faster downloading, then export the component graphics plus the HTML table to re-assemble them in the viewer's browser. Fireworks provides a built-in "Image Map layer" to facilitate assignment of URL links, as well as a button generation feature which automatically produces up, down, rollover, and hit states for button graphics, along with the JavaScript code to control the button behavior. Color picking in Fireworks is tuned for Web designers, defaulting to the Web-safe palette.
