what would be the best software to use for making a catalouge that will have photos in (either high res jpg or tiff format).

Layout is simple 8 photos per page with descriptions etc.

The catalouge wil be A4 in size and they will be printed at a printers.
 
im currently using Corel Draw to do a few test ones etc - not sure if it is the best prob to use, but all the photos etc load nice a shapre etc when resized but the file size is massive. 9 pages so far and its a 300mb file and there is about 32 pages for it.

Ive got publisher, but never though of using that, i'll have a try with it.
 
all the photos i am using are all 350DPI or higher some are in TIFF some are in JPG.

Im having a play about with InDesign, i have a template page set to import the photos nto frames then i have been clicking on the frame with the poto and selecting frame > fit contents to frame.

Is that the correct way to do it -dont want to downsize the quality of the photos.

Also with InDesign, each pages has the page boarder then what must be a margin boarder how do it change the margin boarder.
