 Review: Macromedia Fireworks MX 2004 - The Jem Report
Fireworks MX 2004 allows you to select certain areas of a large graphic to be compressed further, so if some parts don't need to be high-quality, you can compress them to save space (and therefore bandwidth).
One major bug that Macromedia didn't fix in Fireworks MX 2004 is the awful tendency of the scaling and positioning handles to be too broad in their positioning increments.
Macromedia, like Microsoft, is a dinosaur of the software industry and unless they learn to adapt to the changing market by freeing up their licensing and expanding their platform support to Unix/Linux, they're doomed to extinction.

 Digital Web Magazine - Macromedia Fireworks 3   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Macromedia's Fireworks 3 remains a strong contender among web design production tools, and offers many features that make it an attractive alternative to its main competitor: Adobe ImageReady.
Fireworks 3 is sold as a standalone production tool, as well as part of the Dreamweaver Multimedia Studio, and may suffer in sales a bit because ImageReady is offered free with the latest version of Photoshop.
Macromedia has advanced Fireworks 3 quite a bit in the area of handling bitmapped graphics, and has a lot of tools friendly to those most comfortable in a vector graphic environment.

 pixelyzed.com :: pixel forge :: Why Choose Fireworks?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Fireworks' core toolset and work flow is vector based, yet it offers very sophisticated bitmap editing features that can accomplish all but the most complex image manipulation tasks Web designers need to perform on a daily basis.
Fireworks' hybrid vector-raster toolset is almost unique amongst graphic applications and, when you add it to its unrivalled slicing, optimizing and exporting features, you end up with a very powerful application that suits Web designer's needs better than any other.
Fireworks is smart enough to switch between the two editing modes seamlessly depending on the tools you choose and the actions you make.

Fireworks has a dauntingly powerful JavaScript API, and and understanding it all can take quite a lot of work.

 Macromedia Fireworks review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Fireworks enables web designers to produce high quality images, export them in a variety of file formats while retaining excellent file size compression.
Fireworks, in addition to greater palette features, has well-developed type controls and vector tools for creating and editing lines, shapes, and Bezier paths.
Fireworks improves on the rivals, as after you've defined a vector shape, you can select a bit-map paint style to stroke the path.

Fireworks 2 also ships with more than 300 styles (which you can customize or use as is) for applying a consistent look across a site, and it can import files from digital cameras and scanners using TWAIN and Acquire.
Unfortunately, although the Fireworks 2 frame-based environment for creating JavaScript is similar to that of Macromedia Flash, it's not nearly as easy to use as Adobe ImageStyler, with which you can simply create a JavaScript layer and revise an object's properties.
Fireworks 1 offered the standard array of effects, but unlike Adobe Photoshop 5.0, it couldn't apply more than one effect at a time.
