Fireworks or Illustrator for creating web components

I just want to ask members who use Muse which program they use to create Web Components.  For photos I use Photoshop CC, but I am not sure which program to use for web graphics.  I know both programs have tools for creating web graphic, and that Fireworks is more designed to create web graphic, but which one is better Fireworks or Illustrator.
I am looking to trying to create some logos and maybe icons for my webpage, and as I am new to these programs I would like so opinion from you the members on which ones your use. 
I thankyou in advance for reading this post and any opinions you may have regarding this.

Ultimately I would say photoshop is your best bet. You can do the hard lines, shading and blending for this type of thing fairly easily in photoshop compared to illustrator if you know how. Most web comic artist I know who do their work in color usually use photoshop to produce exactly this type of look. For examples look at Katbox.net/laslindas or 2kinds.com

  • Illustrator and Photoshop for creating web banners?

    My company for years has worked with print products. We recently started creating web banners. We use Illustrator for the layout for print and Photoshop for the layout of web products. I have artists who dont see the difference between the two. They want to continue to create web banners in Illustrator. Or they want to export the Illustrator file into Photoshop with the layers. But, to export it this way it has to be cmyk. ugghhh. Can somebody please give me valuable reasons on what application is best and why? Thank you very much!

    >But, to export it this way it has to be cmyk.
    Not true.
    Illustrator is "best" for vector. Photoshop is "best" for raster.
    I would let your artists work in whatever program they feel they produce the "best" art. You should be able to quickly and easily develop a workflow around their needs. If you cannot, then you have your answer too.

  • Best Procedure for Creating Web and Print Images

    Windows XP SP2, Adobe CS3 Design Premium
    Hello,
    I have created a book in InDesign and have placed the art from Illustrator into the pages and cover of the book. At the time the book was designed, I gave no thought to the need for having the cover and certain pages also available on the web. (Silly me...)
    Is there any way to duplicate the native illustrator files and make them web safe (with the web safe colors) without having to create new swatches and use live paint to recolor the image?
    Is there a standard procedure for designing images in Illustrator when you know you will be needing both web and print output? (I'd like to do it 'right' next time.)
    Thank you so much for your help.

    Hi
    if you want to create the web service using the function module do the following steps.
    the main requirement for creting the web service using the function module is the function should be RFC enabled.
    1. To create web service of this Function Module
    Go to Utilities ->More utilities->create a web service->from function module
    2. A new wizard will be open to create the web service and click on continue.
    3. Enter the web service name (any name that you want to give) and give the short description, select the Endpoint type as Fuinction Module and click on continue.
    4. Select the Function Module name that you are using.
    5. select the profile as Basic Authentication: SOAP Pro.
    6. Press continue to release the web service. The web service is now created
    To check the web service Go to the transaction WSADMIN and select the node
    SOAP Application for RFC-Complaint FMs and expand the node and select your web service that you have created and expand the web service node up to the last .
    Now to test the web service select the last node and click on the web service home page button and it will open the home page.
    from this page u will get the wsdl file as well as you can testthe web service.
    Thanks

  • Security for creating web templates using web application designer

    I work for ChevronTexaco as a BW Security Analyst. I have a request to set up roles for web template creation using the Web Application Designer. Where can I get help in setting up the security for these types of roles? My experience is in setting up roles for running and creating queries in BEX. I need to know what additional authorizations will enable web template creation. Setting up a trace in ST01 has been less than helpful since it dumps out tons of RS_COMP tracing that doesn't help me much.
    The user wants to be able to create web templates for existing queries in BEX and restrict by rs_comp infocubes/areas/reportid, etc. and to be able to save to restricted role names. Are there new auth groups specific to this type of activity that I need to code for in addition to the basic end user or report builder authorizations?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks Marc, I'll check it out. My problem was that I was trying to create the role by granting a userid sap_all, sap_new and s.a_system as well as power user auths for a specific application. I set up a trace in ST01 for authorization cking on the ID while one of our BW Central Support people went into Web Designer to create a template and everything else they wanted to do.
    The resulting trace spewed out so much stuff from S_RS_comp and comp1 as to be virtually useless since it named scores of different cubes and infoareas that the analyst wasn't even interested in. The results puzzled me and made it extremely difficult to pin down the required authorizations. Usually ST01 can be used as a blueprint to create the role,ie; everything that the user touches is traced but no more than that. Have you seen this before? With just the new role I had set up the user could not save to a role unless I coded the fully qualified role name such as YRH_SENDAT_USER. YRH* would not work.
    Thanks,

  • XI for create web servicies for SAP R/3 4.6C

    Hi All,
    we are implementing PM (Plant Management) module of SAP R/3 4.6C and we have the necessity to create web services for some PM functionalities. Infact we need to integrate our SAP R/3 4.6C with other applications (non-SAP) through TIBCO (it's mandatory). So we think to use SAP XI. Moreover our users don't want to use SAP GUI for the accessing to the PM functionalities but they want an UI more friendly. So we think to use SAP EP.
    Which is your opinion about this architectural scenario? Is it possible to fulfil the requirement of our business users with a more simple architectural solution (for example with WEB DYNPRO)?
    Many thanks in advance for your collaboration.
    Regards,
    Bob

    Infact we need to integrate our SAP R/3 4.6C with other applications (non-SAP) through TIBCO (it's mandatory). So we think to use SAP XI.
    TIBCO is another middleware. So once you expose your R/3 functionalities as web service, you may directly use TIBCO to integrate and XI won't be required at all.
    Moreover our users don't want to use SAP GUI for the accessing to the PM functionalities but they want an UI more friendly.
    WebDynpro application would provide you an easy GUI and could act as Soap client as well to send data.

  • Which Eclipse plug-in for creating web services?

    Dear all,
    I am looking for a simple, straight-forward eclipse plug-in to create web-services from existing java classes, based on Axis. I am looking to create and deploy the web service to Tomcat, create the WSDL file and create a client class that I can use in client applications. So far I have tried WTP, Lavadora and Lomboz. Neither of these have worked out for me (without going into the details here). Which other plug-ins would you recommend?
    Cheers,
    N.

    The best Eclipse-based web service development environment I've used is IBM's WebSphere Application Developer (WSAD). Whether going from WSDL to Java or the reverse, you're up and running in next to no time.
    But, assuming you don't have $8000 to spend, WTP is probably as good as it gets at the free end of the market, and it includes the same graphical WSDL editor you get in WSAD.
    WTP, a couple of Ant scripts, and a little perseverance are all you really need for web service development.

  • De-Facto instructions for Creating Web Templates, PLEASE

    Hello All,
    I am adept at HTML, and am ok with Java. I have hand coded my entire site. And hand created very intricate web templates to use in Breeze Browser.
    Now, trying to fully incorporate LR into my work flow, I am finding it frustrating to find GOOD instructions for creating my own web templates. I have followed several links, read what was said, read forum posts. But to be honest, there just is no good 1 stop source for the busy person to learn how to do this.
    I am asking that someone, very knowledgeable in creating web templates, for both PC and MAC, please put together a well outlined post describing every step needed to do this. And then have the forum moderators make the post sticky so that it is easily accessible.
    This is very important if LR is going to fit into many working pros current work flows. PLEASE somebody do this.
    I will be eternally great full!!!!
    Thank you in advance for any kind soul who considers doing this

    Hello Paul,
    You're not the only one... I know of several people who are waiting for decent documentation of the XML/XSLT mechanisms so that we can create templates for our custom web sites. My own needs happen to be very simple, but frustratingly difficult to achieve (or maybe I'm trying the wrong approach).
    All I want is a file called index.txt that contains a title for the gallery and a list of thumbnails and full size images, and then I want the thumbnails and images all in the same directory and named in a specific way (no spaces and 't_' prefixes on the thumbnails). Trivial in BreezebrowserPro, but so far I haven't managed it with LR (mind you my XSLT knowledge is virtually non-existent).
    This is the only thing that's holding me up purchasing LR.
    Cheers,
    Simon

  • Workflow for creating Flex components in Flash CS5 needs work

    Am I missing something? I thought things were supposed to be easier.
    I'm creating an AIR application for a client with heavy embedded video.
    I have chewed up days on trying to get stuff to work, mostly creating a graphics heavy component that I can use in the AIR (Flex) app.
    Just clicking the magic "Convert Symbol to Flex Component" command won't do it if you have created your own .as class for the symbol, because it won't compile unless you extend the UIMovieClip class. Good luck trying to find it in the namespace.
    After hours I found where to download the Flex Component Kit that contains the swc that gives you the UIMovieClip class.
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&loc=en_us&extid=1273 018#
    Notice the title of the page:  Flex Component Kit Alpha for Flex 2.0.1
    Shouldn't the need for this kit be ancient history? Shouldn't that swc be built in to the new SDK's and/or Flash Builder 4?
    Make my living on Adobe products, and love them, but this is sloppy. No documentation. No walk-throughs. Have burned many hours that I can't charge the client for because it make me look incompetent.
    Creating a Flex component in Flash with extended functionality SHOULD be a no brainer.
     

    I managed to get it work at the end...
    First, the components directory was at this location:
    C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Adobe\Flash CS5\en_US\Configuration\Components
    Then, to make a component out of a MovieClip, right click on the MovieClip in the library and select "Component Definition" and check the checkbox "Display in Components Panel". What I did then was to right click on the MovieClip and selected export swc file, and saved it in the directory above. This exported only one Component, which was fine for me. Probably it would be possible to do something similar to save a library of components as a .fla or .scw or so, but I don't know the details.

  • PS or Illustrator for creating photo composite?

    I'm trying to build a composite image (a human figure), using elements cut, resized, rotated and pasted from photos.  This will then be dropped into my own freehand illustrated background.  The end product will be printed/published.  I'm using a MS Surface Pro 2 - Windows 8 - which has a small screen (and probably some Windows-based drawbacks), but a useful stylus.  Would you recommend me using PS or Illustrator (or something else)?

    Anything that is image based (raster) you want to use photoshop or photoshop elements as it has the most features for editing the image. Vector art on the other hand should be done in illustrator as it has the most features for editing and creating vector paths.
    Photo composites, images from a scanner or camera, paint programs, etc are all raster based.
    Granted photoshop can do some vector and illustrator can do some raster, but they excel at their own feature set.

  • InDesign -- Illustrator, For a Web Design Workflow

    I know we can't be the only team that has grappled with this problem, so here goes:
    I work for a company with a graphic design department and a web development team; I am part of the latter. Our graphics team works on Macs using InDesign CS5.5 and their designs come to us in PDF 1.5 (Acrobat 6). The development team uses CS5.5 on Windows. The designers primarily output for print (we do a lot of direct mail), so just about everything is geared for that; they also develop our web layouts, which is how we come to our problem...
    When we open graphics' PDF in Illustrator, to isolate say, a background, all the text has exploded into 100+ layers making it difficult to track down all the assets we need for the website. One line of text with a stroke around the letters and a drop-shadow behind all that might look like this:
    Layer 1
    <Group>
    T
    S
    E
    B
    HE
    T                         (THE BEST, displays on one line)
    <group>
    <clipping path>
    <path>                       (stroke)
    <compound path>     (stroke again, not sure why this one is different)
    ..... (more below)
    ..... (and eventually...)
    <group>                              (drop-shadow group)
    See how unruly the layers are?
    Is this an InDesign issue, say, how they've set up the file? Or an Illustrator problem, interpreting how it's exported? We've done a lot of web research the past couple of days; we're still scratching our heads, trying to isolate the problem, and improve the current workflow. We tried exporting EPS (level 3) and encountered the same myriad-layers problem.
    I really, really hope we're not the only ones with this problem and that someone out there has seen it and beat it. Any help would sure be appreciated!
    Regards,
    Ansel Taft

    On behalf of Adobe Systems Incorporated ...
    Please understand that Adobe Illustrator is not, repeat not, repeat yet again NOT a general purpose PDF file editor. Adobe Illustrator is only capable of fully editing a PDF file that was saved directly from either the same or earlier version of Adobe Illustrator and if the option was selected to retain Illustrator editability! (Likewise, Adobe Illustrator is not a general purpose PostScript or EPS file editor.)
    Thus, you should expect problems when attempting to edit a PDF file exported from Adobe InDesign or for that matter, almost any other program. Why not simply open the Windows' users InDesign documents on your Macintosh in InDesign? That would eliminate all the issues you have.
