Hi.
Could you list for me all the important software used for print media (especially for designing books, cover of books and pages of magazines)?
For printing media I always use PS for giving effects not as the main source.

To pimp Adobe...

Adobe FrameMaker (for really large docs, like books)
Adobe InDesign (for page layout, ads, brochures, magazines, etc...) Adobe Illustrator (for vector graphics and illustrations) Adobe Photoshop (for photographic manipulation, graphic creation, etc...) Adobe Acrobat (for creating PDF files)

Other industry apps...
Quark Xpress (industry standard for page layout,... but not for long, InDesign kicks its butt) Macromedia Freehand (for vector graphics and illustrations) CorelDraw (for vector graphics and illustrations... my personal fave)
