Two of the most important factors in creating great photography are color
and light. Mastering the art of selectively correcting or enhancing
each of these is now possible for every photographer without the need for
complicated masks or selections, or expert-level knowledge of Photoshop. Integrating
award-winning U Point technology, Viveza is the most powerful
and precise tool available to control light and color in photographic images.
U Point powered Color Control Points, placed directly on colors or objects
in an image (such as sky, skin, grass, etc.), reveal easy-to-use
controls that photographers can use to quickly adjust brightness, contrast
or color in a fraction of the time needed by other tools. With Viveza you’ll
spend more time shooting photographs and save hours of image
editing.

Viveza provides photo enthusiasts and professional photographers
alike with the most powerful yet easy to use tool ever created
for selectively modifying color, light and tonality in photographs.
U Point powered Control Points enable you to selectively
control the light and color of every photograph without
the need for any complicated selections or layer masks. Use one Control
Point or as many as you need to dial in exactly the effect you want.
Enhancements are automatically and naturally blended throughout your
image for spectacular results.
Viveza is compatible with “Smart Objects” in Adobe Photoshop
which permits you to fine-tune enhancements after they’ve been
applied, without adding additional layers. When Viveza is used as a
Smart Filter, you can create and later edit Color Control Points with
no loss of quality of image details.
The Selective Tool allows you to brush any light
and color changes into your image using Photoshop’s brush tools.
Layers and masks are created automatically, enabling you to quickly
and easily apply any filter selectively.
U Point technology brings a new level of precision
and efficiency to photographic image editing. By placing
a Color Control Point on any part of the image you wish
to alter, and moving a few simple sliders, you can achieve
incredible results in a fraction of the time required by
other tools.
Viveza is compatible with Apple Aperture’s ability to work
on multiple images at once. When more than one image is
opened, "Previous" and "Next" buttons
appear that allow photographers to easily and quickly
edit several images in one session.

“Every image coming from our studio uses Nik Software filters.
Nik's new Viveza just blew me away – I was mesmerized at PMA and
can’t wait to get my hands on it!”

"I'm speechless! I love it because it allows me to make
specific corrections so easily; I'll be adding Viveza to my
image enhancement routine very quickly. You guys at Nik are really making
it hard for the other guys to even keep up much less compete.”
~~ Mike Strickland, Disney Photo Services, Orlando, Florida
I’ve been working with Nik Software’s brand
new Viveza plug-in for Photoshop, which brings the U-point
technology used in Nikon’s popular Capture NX to Photoshop,
and I have to say: it’s freakin’ incredible! The plug-in
has a great user interface, pretty snappy performance, and it’s so
fast and easy to use, that it’s going to become a part of my regular
workflow. It will change the way you do selective editing forever. Kudos
to the gang at Nik Software for bringing Viveza to Photoshop.
I’m psyched!!!
~~ Scott Kelby, Adobe® Photoshop® Insider
On a recent shoot for an ad agency, the model had dark
eyes and dark eye liner. When lighting her eyes during the shoot,
the rest of her face ended up too light. Ultimately I had to
expose for her overall face. Now, I certainly know how to use
Photoshop, and "fixing" her eyes in post would have been a simple enough
task. However, I had 225 images to edit – that's 450 eyes! By using new
Viveza, a 90-second task dropped down to 15-20 seconds per image. Simple
math means that what would have been a 5 hour task was reduced to less
than 90 minutes – Viveza
paid for itself in one shoot!

of Photoshop Professionals
