Photoshop是Adobe公司旗下最为出名的图像处理软件之一，集图像扫描、编辑修改、图像制作、广告创意，图像输入与输出于一体的图形图像处理软件，深受广大平面设计人员和电脑美术爱好者的喜爱。

CS5加入了全面改进后的高清视频渲染引擎Mercury，尤其是其视频处理软件Premiere Pro。Mercury可以利用显卡的图形处理能力加速对高清格式视频的编解码和播放，当然不是所有的显卡，由于和NVIDIA之前达成的协议，Mercury只 支持NVIDIA的显卡。

CS5的另一个亮点是新增了一款软件Flash Catalyst，这款新的软件将作为Flash的另一个选择专门为 设计师和美工量身定做，以挑战微软Expression Studio。

In this collection of lessons we will learn about the process of designing and developing an alien creature for production.

The objectives for this fast-pace, intensive course are to help you understand the process of designing a creature from start to finish, for a 3d production pipeline. Now, several of the design decisions will be directly influenced by the feedback we receive from other artists in the pipeline. By the end of this training, you will have the ability to take this process and apply it to your own creature designs with the understanding of what you as the concept artist can do to make the other jobs of the artists easier.
