I used the term "publishing program" to describe a program like QuarkXpress. Quark is a program that many professionls use to create catalogs, magazines, etc. It allows you, the creator, to make various size pages, number of pages and the handling of type in conjunction with hi-res images. With Quark you have many automatic ways to handle type -wrap around, surround, set up tabs and more. You can import hi-res images as lo-res files you can then crop and size without changing the hi-res image. All of this is done in Quark and is a relatively low size file.
When you deliver it to the printer you deliver the Quark file, the hi-res images and the fonts you used.
To do this in Photoshop would create a huge file (if a catalog or book).
This isn't to say there's anything wrong with using Photoshop or Correll (which I've never used so can't compare) if it's working for you. I'm only trying to show the difference.

I think I have a better picture of what this program would do, now, thanks! I hope I didn't sound like I was challenging you, I just honestly have no idea about publishing software and what more it could possibly do!
It sounds like a real advantage for bigger projects, like books. I'll keep that in mind for my auto-biography, LOL!
