i mean... i personally prefer adobe, but macromedia is a greaaat company too

you see...

ADOBE
photoshop has the greatest design tools, while fireworks it's getting kinda tacky :S
premiere is the greatest tool for editing video i've ever found!
audition it's also a great tool for editing audio
illustrator is better than freehand ¬¬

MACROMEDIA
flash obviously beats adobe try of software
dreamweaver beats adobe's go live easy!!

Since adobe bought Marcomedia this is kinda a vote for Cola Vanilla or Cola Regular lol, they are both the same company...
But anyway, I make my templates in photoshop, edit them in Dreamweaver. I think Adobe is the best company if it's about graphics, while Macromedia is the best in programming (Flash, HTML etc)

I really don't know how you would compare the two companies. The only product that competes with each other in their graphics programs, which are in a dead heat, in my opinion.

It's more about the opinnion you have of a company, and like how many of their programs you use.

well i kinda use both and have for years, nothing new has come along. It's only when you start working at companies that you realise that they use other tool and apps just because of cost. I've been reduced to working with front page, homesite, claris ect. And they all have their own special coding extras. Pretty much a pain but you learn really quickly how to adapt to other programs to get the job done.round.

i never used fireworks, but i did use dreamweaver and i use photoshp sometimes. I think florisjuh is right...photoshop is for grapics and macromedia for programming?

Other quesiton: Now adobe bought macromedia, is there going to be a new fireworks....and will the next dreamweaver will be called Adobe Dreamweaver??

The two brands are known for different areas. One is good in one field, the other in another field. You can't really compare them. And I didn't know that Adobe bought Macromedia. Does anyone have any news about this? When did this happen?

lol, yes Adobe owns Macromedia's *arse*.
but their both good for differernt thigns smile.gif
Adobe- The Wonderful Photoshop and Illustrator, Acrobat, etc
Macromedia- The God like Director, flash, dreamweaver, etc

their both great, and don't clash on software packages too much . . . .

Ive just always used adobe and they have never done me wrong. That is why i still use adobe. However, in the future since they now own macromedia, it is possible that i try on of those products like fireworks. Who knows what lines they keep and what lines they get rid of.

Personally, I believe that both Adobe and Macromedia are good companies and have produced products that people use in their daily lives.
Adobe provides state-of-the-art "Adobe Photoshop CS2" and "Adobe Professional 7" allowing people to make PDFs and PDF Forms for email and such. There "Illustrator" is better than Macromedia's FreeHand MXa, yes, but Fireworks throbs Illustrator.
Adution may be an audio tool, however Captivate allows people to create audio and video performances.
Now with Macromedia.
Macromedia has Flash Professional 8, the highest-quality flash maker in the history of forever. Dreamweaver provides great HTML and other coding software, such as Microsoft Office's FrontPage. However, Dreamweaver can have imports easily from both Macromedia Flash Professional 8, and Macromedia Fireworks 8. Macromedia FreeHand MXa is not their greatest program, and I personally would use Paint (just kidding, just kidding...XD)
Perosnally, Macromedia has shone brighter in my eyes than Adobe, but now that Macromedia and Adobe have joined together to form one great big Adobe, I guess I really don't have a choice, there...biggrin.gif

I am glad that they are merging together.  I like using them both (photoshop, dreamweaver and soon flash).  That'll probably make it so when you slice something in photoshop you can go straight to the editting in dreamweaver because they will be linked in a way I guess you could say. (If it makes sense)
*



Yes I guess that is a good thing.

I use Dreamweaver to establish the templates, web pages or layouts for client sites, and my old personal sites in the past. At the same time, I've used photoshop for the web graphics and Flash for some interaction. So I guess it's a good thing that any future releases of "Adobe Dreamweaver" will link up to Photoshop.

Although a sad thing to come out of Adobes acquisition of Macromedia is that Fireworks is probably likely to be axed from the combined Adobe/Macromedia product range (in favour of Photoshop). Although I dont use Fireworks, it'll probably be a bit frustrating for those having to convert over to Photoshop.

    probably know, Adobe makes brilliant programs, but they are very difficult and user unfriendly to
    use, while the help files and Knowledge Base and online support look like they have been written in
