See how Photoshop & Adobe apps helped make Avatar
"Literally the first piece of software we went out and purchased was Photoshop..."
Check out this 2-minute overview of how PS, Lightroom, After Effects, and other Adobe tools were used in the production of Avatar:
Adobe's Mike Kanfer won an Academy Award working with James Cameron on Titanic & has been a great conduit of information during the making of Avatar. Too bad I never did manage to twist his arm & get behind the scenes during shooting...
Ah well: this morning the Photoshop team is off to see Avatar--a welcome little break from the whole march to Cocoa. I justified it to my wife, saying, "Well, they used Photoshop to make the movie." Raising a dubious, I-know-you're-all-cutting-class eyebrow, she asked, "Don't they use Photoshop to make every movie?" Hush, woman!!
[Update: Evidently Photoshop co-creator John Knoll was the Avatar visual effects supervisor at ILM.]
Semi-related bonus fun thing: Slate talks about Cameron nearly dying while making The Abyss, punching & then firing a rescue diver.

Unveiling
Photoshop Masks
* By Thomas Giannattasio
* December 17th, 2009
Design is a fluid and shifting process in which layers are constantly modified and tweaked. As complexity builds, so does the need for preserving data in a flexible way. Learning non-destructive editing techniques helps you produce documents that bend along with your
creativity. Photoshop Masks are the cornerstone of this process. Not only do they preserve important pixel data, but they allow for the creation of flexible interface elements as well. In this article, we’ll explore the technical aspects and creative advantages of incorporating
masks into your workflow.

Photoshop offers five methods of masking: Pixel Masks, Vector Masks, Quick Masks, Clipping Masks and Clipping Paths, all of which define pixel opacities without affecting the original data. Each of them has its own pros and cons, and knowing which method to use is extremely important for creating clean, flexible and properly masked layers.
