Professional Photo Calendars


Hello All,
I have been making calendars for a non profit facility for about 5 years. I have been using software called Calendar Creator which has been fantastic. The problem is that now the printing company I use can not print from the .jpg or .tif formats I send them. I believe it is because the use the Adobe Creative Cloud (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Acrobat Professional) system and for them to take my files that are not created on an Adobe platform, they need to convert them. Hence I need to buy a new program.

I am looking for input on which of the following Adobe programs is best for photo calendar creation; Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Acrobat Professional?

I will be doing a 9 x12, 12month calendar with center fold, photo on top/calendar on bottom.

On a side note I am not a fan of Photoshop, I use Corel for my editing etc. so I will need to buy a new software to accommodate this calendar :-(.

appreciate your thoughts.
-Pamela

  InDesign sounds like it would do well, although I haven't had any experience with it. Trying to use only photoshop I think wouldn't be as handy due to probably not being as simple to make the dates and grid pattern.
Surprised to hear that a printing company no longer takes jpegs. Since photoshop products have changed to a subscription, I'd also consider looking into another printing service. Mpix used to be popular among people in the Q&A forum.

  Ah, too bad we don't have a name for the person that posted after Gregory. I was going to send every single one of my images - heck, I'll even send the RAW files. Such a generous offer, don't you think?
