Certainly not Photoshop, but it would indeed seem to be primarily 
application-related, especially if a PostScript-editing solution isn't 
feasible.

But, Carol, do you really need XPress to generate any marks? Some 
imposition programs can add trim marks, colour bars, &c., assuming they 
understand the originating application's page-setup 'idioms' well enough 
to identify the page's orientation and origin. (The only one I've used 
extensively is Farrukh Imposition Publisher, which removes any marks it 
finds, replacing them with its own according to options chosen by the 
user.)

Neither QX nor PageMaker allows any customization of marks 'at the front 
end' AFAICT. But in QX's Print dialog you can alter the offset distance 
from its default of 6 points -- perhaps not much use to you, as the trim 
marks and colour swatches will all be shifted the same distance.
