Drafting and planning - Resources used to make magazine

One key resource i will use to make my magazine is Page plus. Page plus is a resource in which i can edit photos to my desire by adding several effects to manipulate the image.
Another resource i could use is paint.net, paint.net is another effective tool which allows me to easily crop and change images. I will predominantly be using Page plus as: Its enables me to save the image as a JPEG, allows me to use many effects and allows me to get the best quality details due to the variety of tools.
