    i wouldn't count flash as a graphics program - you can't really make graphics on his properly - it's mostly to create flash files such as games - it is better to manipulate images here to animate rather than create graphics

    but if you will add that in, you might as well get the name and link correct

    It's ADOBE Flash now, not macromedia anymore - and no way is this product free, what you found Raw was a little bug fix, it even says it in the title

    link: Adobe Store

    price: $699 new and $199 upgrade

    Also previously known as Macromedia Fireworks is ADOBE Fireworks - this is the Graphics Program from the three "macromedia" programs -

    link: Adobe Store

    price: $299

    Flash isn't only for animation.
    You can use it to draw too.

    Nah, LiNuX, that program can be used for graphics too. Just not really good one's.
    Also, at my school, we still have Macromedia Flash, and not Adobe Flash, so I don't know.

    yes i know you can draw with it but the work won't be as pretty like doing it on fireworks or photoshop

    It WAS macromedia - adobe bought Macromedia last year and changed the name - if your computer still has "Macromedia" flash then it probably has the 8th version or prior to that because everything after 8 is changed to CS2 and CS3 which is Adobe :)

    maybe its cuz i suck with graphics lol - but the primary reason for flash was not drawing - flash and fireworks came out at the same time a while back by macromedia - was their way of getting people to buy both to make more money - one for regular graphics and the other for flash animations

    Actually, if you want to get technical - then Linux is right. The reason Flash was MADE was to deal with technical issues of animation, movies, web sites and the smart users IMPORT their real art from Photoshop.

    Also - if you wanna be technical, the reason flash sucks for drawing in is because it uses alpha-numerical calculations to render it's art and graphics, called Vectors.

    So, if you can use Flash to draw - knock yourself out, but no one in their right mind would recommend it to another user over Photoshop for drawing, designing, or remastering graphics.

    That's like saying to someone who's never used a writing instrument that a four year old's fat-body, gigantic crayola is better for writing a letter with than a simple Bic pen. Sure - they do the same thing, but the pen is much more efficient and easier to use.

    Also - I would take Fireworks off of this list because it's horrible to use for anything outside of gif work or partial website design. It's clunky and worthless. D;

    i actually thought they discontinued Fireworks after adobe bought macromedia but I see that they still have it...meh. It still deserves to be on the list since the list isn't about the most popular or "best" graphics programs. Just graphics programs :)

    Macromedia was the name of the company Adobe bought out. They had several programs.
