But I can say with certainty that I won't be doing it with any Adobe software. I've already resigned myself to having to re-create some old graphics that use Adobe's proprietary additions to PNG to enable layering and such. Adobe's made it pretty clear that they have no intention of fixing this. Mine crashes about half a dozen times per week on Win10, on average, no matter what compatibility mode it's in. Hopefully it'll keep running like a champ for you. Pinegrow connects directly to Atom (great extendable code editor) via an Atom plugin. Both are less expensive than renting Dreamweaver. Perhaps try Pinegrow, a visual editor, instead, which is less expensive as well, and you get a full license (or choose the sub option). Adobe just doesn't know what to do with their tools and modern web development, unfortunately.

Not sure, I haven't tried this myself.ĭreamweaver is no longer the tool it used to be (at all). If this doesn't work, Gravit might not be able to understand the FW PNG files. Gravit Designer is vector-based, but it should open any standard PNG file (just drag and drop a PNG file on the Gravit Designer canvas). That won't work: Fireworks' native PNG files use proprietary non-standard extensions, and any other software (if PNG is supported) will open a flattened version. I aimed to change all FW PNG to use it and, all PNGs were greyed out only Pdfs were active. I installed Gravit Designer this morning, and it doesn't Recognize. Might be worth a try if you are a Fireworks/Freehand zealot, and miss the old girls: Or run it as an executable on Windows, Mac, Linux, ChromeOS (and soon iOS and Android).

GD works online without the need to install anything. It's a pretty cool Fireworks alternative, in my opinion: it supports slicing, multiple device asset export (png, svg, jpg), symbols, pages, styles, an so on, but updated to work in more up-to-date web and mobile design workflows. Since their revenues are generated by their work, and not by Gravit Designer, they decided to release it for free. The company behind Gravit Designer started out with creating a Freehand-like design tool for their own internal workflow purposes when Adobe decided to discontinue Freehand (Gravit has an interesting backstory). Pretty much does everything Fireworks could do, excepting the bitmap stuff. The 'spiritual successor' to Freehand and, up to a point, Fireworks, is Gravit Designer.
