Hi, Joan-

I've been a big fan of Photoshop for over 10 years. I currently run CS primarily for the Raw format I use in photography. I don't know if you have any experience with Photoshop. It can be overwhelming for a beginner but that's how I learned.

My concern is your publishing program. I would recommend QuarkXpress. This is a standard for printers and works well with photoshop. But beware. Quark isn't easy to learn by yourself but it can be done. Again, that's what I did.

I have had many things printed from catalogs to post cards and no printer has ever had a problem.

Hope this helps.
