Adobe and Quark both recently released new versions of their page layout applications: InDesign 2.0 And QuarkXPress 5. Both programs push design software to new levels of functionality, but the question is, will the market care?
Adobe Systems is overhauling its publishing applications to more closely resemble its popular Photoshop program in a bid to sway designers who are already using the image-editing software.
The publishing-software giant may be gaining ground on its main rival in the page-layout realm as long-time market leader Quark continues to delay support for Apple Computer's OS X.
Why don't young designers know QuarkXPress? Because the company ignored and failed to invest in Australia, according to Quark's CEO, Ray Schiavone.
OS X compatibility could give Adobe Systems a leg up over privately held Quark, which dominates the layout software market.
Based on the data from over one thousand respondents to our online survey, T&B and ZDNet Australia come up with the goods on what software Australians like best--and what vendors provide the best service and support.
Upgrade if you're a legacy QuarkXPress user and you want Mac OS X support; otherwise, try Adobe's InDesign.
Software maker Quark has announced details of the next version of its QuarkXPress publishing program, a key holdout in supporting Apple's Mac OS X operating system.
While the tide of technological delivery continues to shift, four graphics software vendors struggle for supremacy. ZDNet Australia profiles the leading combatants.
Apple Computer has pulled back from a plan that would have made Mac OS X the primary operating system on all new Macs starting in January.
Even as QuarkXPress implodes, InDesign CS gains features and capabilities that make it the layout application of choice.
