creating a tri-fold brochure, everyone says i must use illustrator (vector graphics!) but i find it so hard designing using that, and would much rather use photoshop.
so my question to you adobe genius’ is do I get a template for a trifold brochure – create and design in photoshop – AND THEN AS IT NEEDS TO BE PRINTED export it into illustrator to add crops and bleeds and save as pdf?
help would be appreciated, thank you!

Use what you know. I know guys who use Photoshop for adding special effects to feature length movies.
What kind of template could be helpful? Why wouldn’t setting the page size and resolution to the final printed size not be adequate? Then fill in the material. For final printing on a raster type device—like a photo quality printer—vector graphics is no advantage. The vectors will still have to be rasterized for printing.
