F

ireworks’ native file format is PNG. However, the Fireworks version of the format contains

additional data to store information about features of the program such as layers. Fireworks

also contains a set of tools for optimizing images for the Web so that you end up with files much

smaller than those saved from other graphics programs while still maintaining the visual quality.

Optimization is done directly in the program with a panel devoted to the task, and saving the image

to JPEG, GIF, or PNG is done by exporting it.
