Summary: Fireworks MX Magic is awesome!
Comment: If you're looking to really jazz up a web site, incoporate Fireworks with Dreamweaver or Flash, or simply to use Fireworks as a standalone software product, this book is for you. Granted, beginners will have a harder time understanding all the concepts, but you can get Fireworks 4 Expert Edge (by the same authors) if you need some help with the basics. The included CD provides all the tutorials listed in the book, and you can modify and/or copy any needed elements. The 15 lessons will provide you hours of instruction from some of the most brilliant minds in web design. What are you waiting for?

Summary: Not what I expected !!
Comment: I am dissapointed with this book. A book with emphasis on web graphics should be colored. What do I get: A book full of black and white graphics. Come on, are you kidding me!!!I can't even see the difference,after applying a gradient!!I tried to read the book, but I don't have fun at all.Check out "Playing With Fire" by Linda S. Rathgeber, really enjoyed that book!

Summary: Using all the Tools in Fireworks
Comment: FIREWORKS MX MAGIC
AUTHOR: Lisa Lopuck
PUBLISHER: New Riders
REVIEWED BY: Barbara RhoadesVector images. Do you know how to change them, add or subtract something from them? The first chapter in Fireworks MX Magic will teach you how. How about bitmaps? Can you take one bitmap and change it into something else? Chapter two will help you do it. Ever have a small picture that you would LOVE to use for a background but when you try all you see are many small pictures. There is a chapter on creating seamless tiles. Then there are ways to make buttons so they are interactive and animated by importing URLs and hot spots. You can also learn to animate by using a timeline. Create great navigation bars with hot spots and have them be connected. Why connected? That way when you make a change to one of the navigation bars, all will change to match. And don't forget, you can learn how to export to Dreamweaver, do batch processing, use project logs with the find and replace to update web sites. And finally, Fireworks extensions as Java script snippets are accessed in the Command menu of Fireworks. Don't know how? Check out this book. Do you use Fireworks for your graphic needs? Do you REALLY use it or just the main tools? Get Fireworks MX Magic and learn how to use all of the tools in Fireworks.
