Concluding Thoughts on Fireworks

Lest the preceding detailed list of caveats and oddities leave the reader with the impression that Fireworks's PNG support is not as good as I initially suggested, let me reiterate that it is, in fact, quite good overall. Version 2.0's improved support for RGBA-palette images puts Fireworks far ahead of any other image editor. The inability to set PNG interlacing is regrettable but is being addressed; lack of gamma support is the only truly unfortunate design choice, particularly for a product with both Windows and Macintosh versions. With luck, both gamma and color correction will become core features of the next major release.
