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 focus on Creating a Stylized Pin Up Cover Design in Photoshop.

We will begin this process by learning how to use the refine mask features in Photoshop to successfully extract a our model from her background. Next we will walk through recreating the environment for our model as well as grounding her into it. From there, we will shift our focus to the typography on our cover, looking to create a sense of movement that compliments the pose of our model. After completing the background elements in our composition, we will work on color correction to help our model fit better into the scene and give her more of a vintage look. Next, we will learn how to paint stylized flames that will highlight the movements of our model. Finally, we will shift our focus to lighting and really add that last bit of polish that makes our piece shine. After completing this course, you will have an understanding of the tools, techniques and workflows that go into creating a professional magazine cover.
