Adobe Creative Suite 5 Master Collection 

What’s New

Start your project by designing in Photoshop, Illustrator, or Fireworks. Import your artwork into 
Flash Catalyst, and then use intuitive menu commands to convert individual elements into 
functional interactive components such as buttons, sliders, and scrollbars.

Flash Catalyst is developer-friendly, and writes code in the background while you focus on creating 

content that’s expressive and interactive. Using the open-source Adobe Flex® framework as its 
underlying structure, Flash Catalyst helps ensure that when you have to hand off more complex 
projects to a developer, everything is in place, correct, and ready to go. Files are saved in FXP 

format—the same file format that Flash Builder uses—making the work easy for developers.

Explore lifelike, naturally textured painting in Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended, along with exciting 
new 3D capabilities. With new ways to blend colors and new bristle qualities, you have virtually 

endless possibilities for creating outstanding expressive effects—from enhancing photographic 

images in unusual ways to painting directly on a blank canvas. And you can add dimension to your 
imagery with 3D extrusions using Adobe Repoussé technology.

Mixer Brush
Use the Mixer Brush to fill a single brush with multiple paint colors. Then blend paint colors with 
underlying canvas colors to achieve results that rival traditional painting media. Control how wet 

the canvas is, and whether and how quickly the brush refills or cleans after each brush stroke. You 

can also use a dry brush to blend a photograph’s colors and produce beautiful, painterly results.

Bristle qualities
Enjoy unprecedented control 

over brush qualities such as 

shape, length, thickness, 
stiffness, and angle. Specify a 
round, curved brush tip with 
long, fine, flexible bristles, or a 
flat, blunt brush tip with short, 
thick, stiff bristles. Use Live Tip 
Preview to view a dynamic 
representation of the brush tip 
as you paint, and save your 
favorite brush tips for future use.
