The sentence I quoted seems to say that PS is not good at creating small
image (JPG?) files. I had the same problem when I started to use PS CS2,
until I found there is a "save for web" function, which, as far as I can
tell, can create very compact JPGs.

Furthermore, you can use masks to optimize the range of quality in a
JPEG image. Selected parts of the pic may be rendered in a high quality
mode while the rest of the pic is in very low quality mode. This can
give the image an overall appearance of high quality despite very small
JPG size.

I guess you know all this, no? I'm not an expert, but I'm very much
interested in this field. What is it that Fireworks can do so much
better here?
