I think the question JR meant to (or should have) asked is "What
DOESN'T it do that you want it to do?"

In other words, what exactly are you looking for, and how have the
programs you have tried not worked to your satisfaction?

I gather you want to produce a multi-page document with mixed graphics
and text. You can do that with TextEdit, Preview, Adobe Acrobat, Pages,
Photoshop, Adobe InDesign, Quark Express, Microsoft Word, Adobe
Illustrator, etc., etc., and, apparently, ColorIt (I have not used
ColorIt so I don't know its capabilities.)

Here are some questions you might want to answer:

1. How many pages in a document?
2. How many graphic images do you want to put on each page.
3. How big are the graphic images?
4. How much text do you want to put on a page?
5. Is the text associated with an image, like a caption?
6. Do you want the text to be next to (above, below, beside) the
graphic or on top of the image?

I use Adobe InDesign for this kind of task, but it is expensive and
probably overkill for your needs. As a Layout program, it gives you
complete control over what is placed and where on each page. Word
Processing programs, such as Word and Pages, want to flow the content
from top to bottom and add pages as needed as content fills each page.
However, by using "text boxes" you may be able to position text at
arbitrary locations on a page.

If you have Pages, and you don't want to purchase and learn a
complicated layout program such as InDesign, then Pages may be your
best choice. Then, it is a matter of seeing if Pages can be forced into
doing what you want to do. I have not used Pages a lot, but I am sure
there are people here who can help you, provided they know exactly what
it is you are trying to do.
