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。
