The reasons I use Photoshop (and have not really looked at FireWorks) are that PSh has Actions (sequences), is very AppleScriptable, and I have setup collections of instruction sets in Rev to tell PSh to: process incoming camera images into destination folder sets combine these images into a sequence of related images apply the various corrections to the camera images by selecting from lists in Rev, the Photoshop app opens, processes, renames and outputs the results, then Rev uploads to the web area I choose. I realize that this is a very specific use of Rev-AS-Photoshop, but it is the reason I chose Rev in the first place. PShop will crank along for about 8-10 minutes on a Mac G5 duo 2.0 mHz doing what would take me about 1.5 hours manually, not including mistakes and mis-steps. For your project, it is possible that the Actions & Sequences in Photoshop may get you where you want to go without any other scripting. I would like to hear if Fireworks has similar capability, as I am most involved in camera/jpg image reproduction for web content. The use of rollover buttons I do in Flash on a timeline that allows sophisticated transitions and states, so simple rollovers are easy, but not often required. I am always looking for more good tools for my tool box.
