Attention to detail distinguishes great design — it’s the same for great design software. When you’re deep in your layout, you’ll appreciate the little things in QuarkXPress 8 that let you perfect details, such as graphical thumbnails in the page navigation menu*, an enhanced Measurements palette that shows you real image resolution, the ability to update style sheets with a single click, and many more enhancements that can help you design with more precision and efficiency.
