Product history[]
Development history[]
Fireworks was initially developed at Macromedia's Digital Arts Group (formerly Altsys) in Richardson, Texas. It was created by engineers from the Macromedia FreeHand team and the two software projects often shared resources. The first version was released in 1998 as a successor to Macromedia xRes. It combined the capabilities of raster and vector graphics editing. Market competitors included Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, and CorelDRAW.[1]
In 2003, the Texas development staff were laid off or relocated to Macromedia's main office in San Francisco, California.[1]
