Macworld review: Adobe InDesign CS
Macworld review: Adobe InDesign CS
01/22/2004 02:13 AMInDesign CS is a subtle yet very powerful update to Adobe's publishing
flagship. The previous version, InDesign 2.0, introduced most of the
key features that made the young program a publishing powerhouse: the
word-processor–like table editor, the Photoshop-level transparency
features, and highly sophisticated typographic control. This version
brings enhancements to many of these features, and it has several
sensational new ones, such as nested styles and a much more efficient
console for accessing text and object attributes. Although InDesign's
interface is still somewhat complex, this is a more capable and more
functional InDesign; in due time, this program will easily claim the
publishing crown.
Quark in denial of InDesign trend

09/06/2004 02:48 PMA Computer Business Review Online
story posted today quotes Quark's UK marketing director Gavin
Drake as saying, "There is no question that a small number of
customers have or are switching to InDesign for various reasons and we
wish them every success in this. However you have to put this in
context, which is that this represents a very small percentage of the
UK market and is certainly not a trend."
I say when BBC Magazines is one of those small numbers along with
Hearst Publishing in the US, it may not be a trend, but it's sure
heading in that direction.

Pfeiffer says QuarkXPress Lags Behind
InDesign CS
02/01/2005 10:05 PMPfeiffer Consulting has conducted an
"independent, high-level
technology analysis of Adobe InDesign CS and QuarkXPress
6.x, in order to allow decision makers in the publishing industry
to evaluate the comparative strengths of both applications."
IT-Enquirer has interpreted that study (saving us 295 Euros if we are
willing to trust their summary) in
this article and has come to the conclusion:
"Stay
Away from QuarkXPress 6.5...Pfeiffer found frequent and reproducible
crashes, and serious reproducible dysfunctions of existing product
functionality. The problems were so severe that a system's data
integrity was in peril. Pfeiffer therefore warns against deploying
version 6.5 without checking if Quark has solved the problems found by
Pfeiffer."
I think the folks in the
QuarkXPress Commiseration Area
of our Forums could have saved both organizations a bit of time and
money as they have all experienced these issues first hand...these
issues and many others.
QuarkXPress Lags Behind InDesign CS? Well, DUH!
