Unique integration features make it easy to work on files interchangeably in Adobe Dreamweaver and Fireworks. Dreamweaver and Fireworks recognize and share many of the same file edits, including changes to links, image maps, table slices, and more. Together, the two applications provide a streamlined workflow for editing, optimizing, and placing web graphics files in HTML pages.

If you want to modify Fireworks images and tables placed in a Dreamweaver document, you can start Fireworks from the Property inspector in Dreamweaver to make edits and then return to the updated document in Dreamweaver. If you want to make quick optimization edits to images and animations, you can open the Fireworks Export Preview dialog box from the Dreamweaver Property inspector and enter updated settings. In either case, updates are made to the placed files in Dreamweaver, as well as to the source Fireworks files, if those source files were opened.

To further streamline the web design workflow, you can create image placeholders in Dreamweaver for future Fireworks images. You can later select those placeholders and start Fireworks to create desired graphics in the dimensions specified by the Dreamweaver placeholder images. Once in Fireworks, you can change the image dimensions if desired.
