I have grown quite used to both FW's and Flash's Property Inspector. I still use Photoshop CS2 and get quite impatient with the lack of Property Inspector. Did they add it in PScs3?

I know what you mean. It's a great feature of FW, DW and Flash.

The closest you've got in PS is the Options Bar, but that was present in
CS2 as well. That said, PS has many more tool/element specific palettes
than FW. I'm so used to the PI, though, that I sometimes forget that.

I am thinking of upgrading to one of the creative suites ( I have studio 8),
and want to know the difference between Fireworks and photoshop. While I have
both, I never use PS.[/q]

Gary, you've just answered your question. :-) If you've never used PS before,
getting a package that includes Fireworks is the safest bet.

I'm in a similar situation, having both programs but only using Fireworks for
both webdesign and photo art. Although it's true that natively FW doesn't have
the photo-editing capacity of PS, you can easily get 3rd party plugins that
allow some pretty nifty photomanipulation right from Fireworks.

I'd recommend the PS package only if you're 100% digital artist working with a
tablet. In any other case, I suggest getting Fireworks instead.
