While a recent challenge has come from Adobe InDesign, Creative Voice Award-winning QuarkXPress remains the incumbent solution for design and layout. Of course, QXP now includes an enhanced html filter, character stylesheets, and improved pdf import. All this and it demands a mere 10MB of RAM!
For handling graphics, QuarkXPress allows you to choose a clipping path from among multiple embedded paths in a TIFF image. For combining pictures, text, writing, typography, editing and printing in one application, XPress is a full-service desktop publishing solution, and provides total command over page layout. Continued competition from Adobe should inspire Quark to beef the software up even further in the coming versions.
