Fireworks Vs Photoshop

  

I use png files more than any othere file for web graphic design. the main program I use to manipulate this file type is fireworks. To me fireworks has always been a better choice than using photoshop. Photoshop was originally created for editing photographs for photographers. I dont understand why a web developer whoes objectives and needs are web development would use such a program like photoshop. Photoshop has to much of you dont need. To do basic things like editing a particular layer you have to dig and find the layers you want to edit click on them and skiping others in this finger click acorbatic move. With fireworks all you do is click on the layer you are working on and the program uses common sense to guess that their is a 95% chance that you might want to edit the upper most layer you happend to be working on. This for as a developer saves lots of time, time is very important for me. If you are a photographer and you need to work in an enviroment were everything that is going to be rendered needs to be printed in high resolution than its the right tool for you. If you need to have all the essential tools that a web designer needs in a fast effeciant clear cut manner with all the quality that n image needs forviewing on the internet than fireworks is for you.

I always laugh when these wana be web creative guru types with purple sunglasses always swear that photoshop is the industry standard for web development graphics. These are left over failed photographers that figured they can provide a web development service after doodeling with their photoshop in their photo studio late one night.
