Photoshop 7 should have basic vector tools ... use those not brushes and pixel tools. This is faster and you can adjust the shapes.

"it hardly has any tools to make full layouts with/etc. Unless, of course, I am missing something"

XaraX can make incredible page designs. Have you used the texture fills, transparencies, colour fills, bevels, etc etc?

Give it some time. Since you are coming from Photoshop and it appears you haven't used the simpler vector tools in that , you probably have a mind used to the concept of paint and pencil lines. Vector shapes are totally different (like shapes cut out of carboard which you can move around and color and reshape.

You should be able to do alot with Photoshop's more basic vector stuff too.
