Just as Macromedia's Fireworks has evolved, so has Peachpit's Visual QuickStart Guide. The third edition of this bestselling guide has been updated and revised to cover Fireworks 3, including its increased interactivity with other programs and more powerful automation features.
With Fireworks 3: Visual QuickStart Guide, you'll learn how to design, create, optimize, and output Web graphics from Fireworks in no time, thanks to the patented Visual QuickStart approach: clear, step-by-step instructions with plenty of helpful screenshots. The book thoroughly explores Fireworks' omnibus graphic tool set, which combines vector drawing, natural media bitmap tools, text editing, special effects, color management, animation, and HTML linking in one interface.
