You've highlighted the problem there David, choose one software package and stick with it. Persevere with it, by trial and error, until you know it back to front. Then what you find difficult to achieve at the moment will quickly become relatively easy.
I am completely self taught in graphic/CAD work using a free software package on a CD that came with a computer magazine back in 1999. That software, 'Micrografx Picture Publisher', has been superceded many times over by better software and yet it is still capable of matching perhaps 95% of what that latest software can produce. The vast majority of functions offered the latest programs are just slicker and less labour intensive, that is all.
Turning to your 'PW Testmaster', another superbly constructed magazine project by your good self. I agree with the earlier comment about yours looking better than the author's own offering. Great stuff David!
