客观的说，Adobe 的这次软件升级确实是成功的。而且我们也从会议介绍内容中得到 Adobe 非常明确的发展理念：用先进的技术，把用户的创意从技术中解脱出来。除此之外，CS5 终于让 Adobe 主导的各软件有效的协同工作的思想得以真正实现。当然，还有大家都在期待的软件向网络方向的发展趋势也让我们看到了切实的举措，基本上 Adobe CS5 系列软件都能让你围绕网络媒体内容进行有效创作甚至是发布。但就目前整体网络规范的进程来看，离大家期望的理想状态还有长的路要走。网络这个温床现在还充满了各种利益间的争斗，在绝对权力出现之前，用户们依然会被各种规范和协议困扰着。

妖怪般的功能，妖怪般的价格 – ADOBE CS5 如期发布 is a post from: iHOW

据悉，Adobe CS5产品新增了全面改进后的高清视频渲染引擎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，不过Mercury还只支持NVIDIA的显卡。

此外，Adobe CS5产品还新增了一款软件Flash Catalyst，这款软件专门为设计师和美工量身定做，将作为Flash的另一个选择。

CS5发布倒计时官方网站：http://cs5launch.adobe.com

距离现在还有18天，你准备好迎接这次更新了么？
根据国外内部测试者的消息，被称为是“under-the-hood”（深入）的一次升级，并且，CS5将会多出一个新成员。CS5现在已知的信息（以下信息均有网上视频证实确认无误）包括：

Photoshop：
全新的类似Corel Painter的自然笔刷系统(比Painter更优秀的功能是倾斜时甚至可以模拟到笔刷毛的变化)、
范围颜色选取工具、
精细到毛发的新的选择工具(这也是CS4中抽出工具不见了的原因)、
骨骼工具(可根据二维的人的光影自动分析其三维结构并且改变其动作)
有图无真相的智能修复工具(此功能视频已被视频广为流传，只要简单的选择就可以消去选择的对象并且看不到痕迹)
增强智能缩放工具(CS4缩放工具的增强版，甚至可以改变整幅图的透视)

Aftereffects、Premiere：
64bit，
支持CODE技术(GPU渲染时代来临、被认为是CS5中最具革命性的改进，可以极大的改进性能，并在普通显卡上流畅渲染特效、3D与剪辑，旋转缩放，据说演示时惊呆了当时在场的所有人)。

Flash Pro：
这次主要是面对开发者改进，包括
输出Iphone应用(未来Flash Builder也会支持，程序会直接通过LLVM重新编译而不需要直接通过虚拟机，解决了很多效率问题)、
物理引擎(可以模拟物理特性，并且自动生成动画，非常GJ)、
创建Flash Builder工程(Flash Builder相反)，
Text Layout Framework整合
代码编辑器增强、
Deco-brush。

Dreamweaver：
支持Flash，Illustrator的动画与矢量图智能黏贴转换成Html5 Canvas并在支持Html5浏览器中渲染

而最近，在德克萨斯的数码印刷会议的宣传中透露，ADOBE将会在CS5家族中加入一个全新的设计软件，并在今年4月21 、22日Emerge 会议公布（同时也大约是CS5的出产日期）。这个软件的名字和详细信息现在被极度保密，而作为这个软件的技术预览主讲人Noha Edell（ADOBE跨平台出版方案的BDM）的描述，
这个软件按她的原话是”即使是最知情的Adobe Fans，看到这个也一定会震惊”的软件。

对于这个软件的身份，国外很多人做了猜测，包括是Flash catalyst，全新的Acrobat，关于HTML5的工具等等。
但是，根据在印刷会议和 Noha Edell之前在Adobe中担任的职位，如果是Flash的程序，不会由Noha演讲，而Acroba根本就不是“brand new”。因此笔者推断这是一个与印刷相关的新软件，并且与印刷网络化有关。现有CS中与印刷有关的软件是Indesign与Incopy。也许是对抗 Quark的印刷平台的一着。(From:雪岛资讯)
