    Q – 1 WHAT IS DTP?
    ANS : Desktop publishing (also known as DTP) combines a personal computer and page layout
    software to create publication documents on a computer for either large scale publishing or small
    scale local economical multifunction peripheral output and distribution. Users create page layouts
    with text, graphics, photos and other visual elements using software such as QuarkXPress, Adobe
    InDesign, the free Scribus, Microsoft Publisher, Apple Pages and (to some extent) any graphics
    software or word processor that combines editable text with images. For small jobs a few copies of
    a publication might be printed on a local printer. For larger jobs a computer file can be sent to a
    vendor for high-volume printing.
    The term "desktop publishing" is commonly used to describe page layout skills. However, the skills
    and software are not limited to paper and books. The same skills and software are often used to
    create graphics for point of sale displays, promotional items, trade show exhibits, retail package
    designs, and outdoor signs.

    APPLICATIONS OF DTP :
    COREL DRAW : CorelDRAW is a vector graphics editor developed and marketed by Corel
    Corporation of Ottawa, Canada. It is also the name of Corel's Graphics Suite. Its latest version,
    named X3 (actually version 13), was released in January 2006. CorelDRAW differentiates itself
    from its competitors in a number of ways. The first is its positioning as a graphics suite, rather than
    just a vector graphics program. Second, the package consistently includes a large collection of fonts
    and clip art. The biggest improvement with CorelDRAW over other graphic software programs is
    its ability to edit bitmaps. A full range of editing tools allow the user to adjust contrast, color
    balance, change the format from RGB to CMYK, add special effects such as Vignettes and special
    borders to bitmaps. Bitmaps can also be edited more extensively using Corel PhotoPaint, opening
    the bitmap directly from CorelDRAW and returning to the program after saving.
    PHOTOSHOP : Adobe Photoshop, or simply Photoshop, is a graphics editor developed and
    published by Adobe Systems. It is the current market leader for commercial bitmap and image
    manipulation, and is the flagship product of Adobe Systems. It has been described as "an industry
    standard for graphics professionals."[1] Although originally designed to edit images for paper-based
    printing, Photoshop can also be used for a wide range of other professional and amateur purposes.
    The current (10th) iteration of the program, Photoshop CS3, was released on 16 April 2007. "CS"
    reflects its integration with other Creative Suite products, and the number "3" represents it as the
    third version released since Adobe re-branded its products under the CS umbrella. Photoshop CS3
    features additions such as the ability to apply non-destructive filters, and new selection tools named
    Quick Selection and Refine Edge that make selection more streamlined. On April 30th, Adobe
    released Photoshop CS3 Extended, which includes all the same features of Adobe Photoshop CS3
    plus capabilities for scientific imaging, 3D, plus high end film and video users.
    PAGEMAKER : PageMaker was the first desktop publishing program, Many of the graphical user
    interface (GUI) elements pioneered in the program have since migrated to the rest of the Adobe
    suite. Adobe has positioned PageMaker to compete more for the small business market, with Adobe
    InDesign aimed at the high end, professional designer. PageMaker's feature set is well suited for
    publications such as corporate newsletters and the straight-news sections of newspapers, but for
    layouts that need a more complex design, such as magazines or the feature sections of newspapers,
    it may take much longer to accomplish the task in PageMaker than it would in InDesign or
    QuarkXPress, if the desired results are possible at all.
    While PageMaker is less powerful than InDesign or QuarkXPress, it is simpler to learn than those
    two packages and yet more powerful than Microsoft Publisher. It is not uncommon for schools that
    teach page layout to first teach their students PageMaker to get them comfortable with the concepts
    of desktop publishing, then move them on to QuarkXPress or InDesign.
