Adobe InDesign CS4 is the market leader....Approx £500 (which is jolly expensive) or you might find it on Bittorrent or similar.

Not that I'm advocating you nicking software by the way.

I'm sure Photoshop Elements at about £75 is more than adequate.

Well tbh, you really need a layout package to have a decent variety of vector art controls as well more print friendly output control. InDesign is the industry standard, but Adobe Illustrator is aslo worth considering if you're only doing single page artwork.

Just a polite reminder that any posting of links to illegal software (ie - relating to copyright theft) is an immediate ban from PH, as it's illegal, and not something that PH supports.

Gimp, its a bit of a training issue swapping over from CS2 but it does everything Adobe does but its legally free. Opensource.
