Hi John,

Thank you very much for your response. Maybe I can get away with just buying that QuarkExpress and not Photoshop (though I could probably use Photoshop too, for the reference photo situations.) Does QuarkExpress run independently from Photoshop? In other words, I don't need Photoshop to run QuarkExpress, is that right? I"ll investigate that too.

I am willing to give figuring out the program a shot. I used to be a graphic designer, but it's been a while (!) and I was using the old Adobe Illustrator program, along with some other oldies but goodies. And I'm not planning on anything very complicated, it's just nice to crop my own photos and put in my own text.

Thank you, I'll continue investigating . . .

Joan

P.S. You gave me the idea to talk to my printer and see if he's familiar with QuarkExpress, just to make sure it wouldn't be a problem for him, which it sounds like it wouldn't be.
