AVAILABLE IN APRIL:
NEW VIVEZA™ FROM NIK SOFTWARE

 The latest addition to its line of award-winning photographic plug-ins for Adobe Photoshop and Photoshop Elements, new Viveza is a powerful and intuitive software tool designed to enable photographers of all skill levels to precisely select and control the light and color in their images while working within Photoshop.

Nik Software’s revolutionary U Point technology is the secret. To make adjustments to an image, photographers simply place U Point powered Color Control Points directly on colors or objects in an image (such as sky, skin, grass, etc.) then adjust easy-to-use sliders for brightness, contrast, color and more. Viveza automatically selects objects and creates masks based on where the user places a Color Control Point. By working directly on the image, powerful selective enhancements can be accomplished in a fraction of the time needed by using other tools.

In fact with new Viveza, photographers can not only do more to improve the overall quality of their images, they can address image editing tasks that are too complex or simply not possible with other tools.

Key Viveza Features Include:
• Color Control Points – U Point technology allows users to easily control an image’s color, light and tonality. Simple to use sliders let users quickly adjust brightness, contrast, saturation, red, green, blue, hue, and warmth. Enhancements are automatically and naturally blended throughout the image for spectacular results. • Smart Filter Support – Viveza is compatible with Adobe Photoshop’s Smart Filter feature which permits users to fine-tune enhancements after they’ve been applied, without adding additional layers.
• Powerful Selective Tool – Viveza’s Selective Tool allows users to brush any light and color changes into their image using Photoshop’s brush tools. Layers and masks are created automatically, enabling users to quickly and easily apply any filter selectively. For added control and fine detail adjustments, Viveza also supports pressure-sensitive features optimized for Wacom® Pen Tablets.
