"Standard" software for four-color, glossy magazine layout?

[Steven Oppenheimer <writer -at- writemaster -dot- com>]

Can anyone tell me what a fairly "standard" set of software tools would be 
for laying out a glossy, newsstand, four-color magazine.  I use Framemaker 
for technical writing, but I'm not sure if that would be a first choice for 
producing a magazine.  Also, in addition to the main desktop publishing 
program for the overall magazine design, what software is typically used 
for photo editing?

Besides those two tools -- a main program for laying out the publication, 
and something for photo editing -- are there any other types of packages 
required for producing a magazine?  If so, what?

Thanks,

Steve Oppenheimer
