Fireworks CS3 - Photoshop Integration

After the Macromedia take over by Adobe, some of the integration and branding was needed on macromedia products.

Photoshop was just one example where the engineers had to reverse engineer the psd files and get the objects from it.

Photoshop live effects were added in the Property Inspector where the user could apply Photoshop filters in Fireworks. This was a great bridge for Photoshop users trying to work in fireworks. The UI (User Interface) remains same as seen in Photoshop.

Some disadvantages are that the options are not completely mapped as they are available in Photoshop. Some here and there compromises have been made.
