Adobe PageMaker was the first DTP package of note, but during the 1990s was overtaken by QuarkXPress as the choice of professional designers and major publishers. PageMaker has now been superseded by InDesign, which is rapidly growing in popularity. Both QuarkXPress and InDesign are vector-based, dealing primarily with ‘line work’: those elements of page layout-including type, rules, and tint boxes – that can be represented by scalable geometric descriptions. InDesign, however, integrated the ability to manipulate images and add effects such as transparency and soft shadows. Quark has caught up with a number of similar capabilities, albeit not quite so comprehensive or seamless.
