What your friend wants to do is not very complicated, nor does it need
to be expensive.  A pentium class computer, mid-level scanner, and 600
dpi laser printer would allow him or her to pretty much accomplish the
goal.  A 4x6" color photograph, scaned at 250 dpi (about normal for a
magazine that prints at 133 lpi) will save as a .tif file at about 4.25
meg, a .jpg at a little over 500K.  However, putting two of those photos
on a letter size page (filling it), produced a file only a little over
4.5M large.

I use PagePlus from Serif to publish a weekly newspaper, but in the past
have I have produced color pages for a magazine.  It's only drawback is
that it isn't great when file sizes get large (at least not on a P-233
with 64 meg ram), so I do each page as a separate file.

If you're interested, I can send more info via e-mail.
