Macromedia Fireworks 3.0

The fundamental change to the Fireworks interface is the introduction of a tabbed image window - a more or less direct copy of the feature found in ImageReady. Essentially this integrates the optimisation functionality previously available from the Export Preview dialog into your ongoing editing environment so that you can easily switch to the Preview, 2-Up or 4-Up tab to see how your image will finally appear as a GIF, JPEG or PNG. To change any of the current output settings, such as the level of JPEG compression and smoothing, you now use the new Optimize palette while, for complete control over the individual colours in a GIF image's palette, you use the new Colour Table palette. Fireworks 3 has even copied ImageReady 2's most advanced optimisation features with the ability to create "lossy" GIFs and a preview option which shows how your image will look under the Mac's different gamma handling.
