Matthew,

What"s wrong with doing everything in photoshop?

Well, unless is a very small file, low res, RGB, for client approval only and not for print quality, it's the worst solution I have ever heard (amongst Corel and PageMaker rubbish!)


There are ONLY two standard industry software for Publishing/Page Layout and they are: All time best renowned software QuarkXpress and (more recently stable) InDesign.

The same goes for professional image editing: Photoshop any professional (only) version.

All the rest is just a laugh and a big waist of (professionals) time, you can use other PC native software as the above, just don't expect the end users, like bureaus and printers to do a good job translating it (if they accept the work in first place)

Then, back to the question about doing everything in Photoshop:

1 - You either have a very, very powerful Dual processor G5 with 'hundreds of RAM', to manipulate your very heavy collage/visual,

2 - You're working in only in low resolution and quality is not important,

3 - You have a very powerful printer and lots of time to wait for the runouts,

4 - You're not printing your work, not at home and definitely not out (bureau or printer)

5 - You're not applying bleed or accurate trim marks,

6 - How do you do the page setup for a double A3 page spread? Huge file!
