Article: Fireworks vs Photoshop Compression

Your review, sharing and suggestions are so important for me. Please leave a comment and ReTweet this article.

this short article on webdesignerwall.com is comparing the important graphic editing softwares photoshop and fireworks about their compression powers.

Surprisingly enough, based on the findings from my recent survey there are quite a bit of Fireworks users. Personally, I never used Fireworks. Photoshop is alway my first choice for designing—from image editing to designing mock-ups. But, did you know that Fireworks is way better than Photoshop in term of image compression? I’m not a software engineer, I can’t explain why Fireworks can compress better. But I can prove it to you by showing a series of experiments I did.
