If the above benefits don't help you, keep looking at the following to determine if you should give up fireworks:

• I often need to make prints, but fireworks are not suitable for larger size pictures and do not offer a friendly printing solution ()
• I'm a professional photo processor, but fireworks lacks professional-level image processing capabilities.
• I am not engaged in Web/website/graphics interface related major, fireworks not for me

I gave up fireworks, and maybe it was a good decision.

Photoshop-More professional graphics processing software may be better for you
Illustrator, CorelDraw-more professional vector processing software may be more suitable for you

I'm ready to start learning the basics of fireworks here.

How to learn fireworks basic operation:

• To view the official fireworks brochure/book mainly
• Don't ask questions before you learn the basics, and then find solutions to other channels if you don't know what to do after you've finished with the manual.
• More hands-on, can follow the manual/tutorial steps to do some examples

The basic learning process and what needs to be learned:

• Learn the interface of fireworks
• Learn the common tools of fireworks and noodles version
• Follow the tutorials to get some basic work done so you can easily understand how fireworks works

Complete the following tasks:

• See how the working area of fireworks is divided, where the tools are, and where the panels are.
• See what fireworks all contain and try to use some simple tools (arrow tools)
• Learn how fireworks's tool panel works (like the slider bar)

I have already understood some basic operation, I want to go deep/systematic study

Systematic in-depth study of fireworks

• Follow the steps in the manual to familiarize yourself with the methods and functions of each tool/operation
• Follow some examples of tutorial steps to do some pictures

How to improve faster (my personal opinion):

• See some works, through analysis, see how you can achieve (for example, see the effect of drawing lines, Lenovo to the texture)
• More to discuss the area to see other people encounter problems, whether they can solve, other people's solution is how
• Focus on each new technical document and learn more about how to update it
• Do more of your own work related to the experimental work

After a period of study, I have been very familiar with fireworks, so how to better use in the work?
