Adobe wants your opinion on Photoshop and Fireworks

Adobe is moving forward with the process of integrating its apps with those it inherited from  Macromedia. You have an opportunity to influence how that will go.

Over at Abobe Blogs, Photoshop Product Manager John Nack invites your input on Fireworks and how to integrate it with Photoshop. If you're not familiar with Fireworks, it's best known as a Web graphics editing program, much like Adobe ImageReady.

Nack promises that Adobe is not going to "rip out the Web features we've developed in Photoshop. . . Rather than crippling Photoshop for the many people who use it all or some of the time for Web design, let's make Fireworks stand out by adding kick-ass, never-before-seen features. (Of course it's to identify these that we need your help.)"

Here are the specific questions Nack poses:
  • If we could do one thing to improve the process of making graphics for the Web, what would it be?
  • Are there tasks (e.g. rapid prototyping of Web and app interfaces) at which we should target Fireworks more than Photoshop? (Or, to take the other side, would you rather there be a single über-app with a customizable interface?)
  • Do we need to improve integration between Fireworks and Photoshop (e.g. better file format compatibility, Jump To), or does it work well enough?
  • What about compatibility with Dreamweaver? What tasks could/should we improve?
  • Are there interface elements or ideas from one app that we should emulate in the other?
If you are at all involved in creating Web graphics, jump over to Adobe Blogs and post a comment joining the long list of folks who are making their opinions known on these important issues.
