I use whatever comes in handy at the time. Having said that, most of
my newsletters are done using Ventura v.5.0. I find Ventura the easiest to
use as it was the first desktop publishing application that I learned at
version 1.0. Great for doing long books but rather overkill for brief
newsletters. Still, it gives me complete control of the appearance as well
as positioning of graphics and picture elements. Pagemaker is right up there
as well. Our Lotus newsletter started off being done in Word and was quite
adequate for the readership but like anything else... :)

I scan all my photos using a 14" flatbed scanner (Microtek), capable
of 600dpi optical resolution, then manipulated using Photoshop v.3.015.
Depending on what the final output requirement is; I either insert low
resolution positioning pictures directly (and have the printer insert his
high resolution scans) or have the B&W files printed as is.

Not a bad idea, but, isn't this it?
