Compression Comparison: Photoshop 6.0 vs. Fireworks MX

For this portion, I compressed each image to quality level 60 of each application. This basically just compares each applications "arbitrary" slider position.

We consistently get smaller files with Fireworks, but at the sacrifice of some quality. In other words, 60 in Fireworks might correspond so some lower number on the Photoshop scale, such as 30.
