First introduced for Nikon in developing its Capture NX editing software Nik now offers to all users of Adobe Photoshop and compatible editors the power of their U-Point technology. What is special about U-Point technology? Imagine doing away almost completely with ever having to deal with intricate selecting of an object or masks.
With U-Point you just drop a point on the item you want to adjust and away you go. Say you want to make a blah looking sky bluer. Traditionally you’d have to select the sky, then painstakingly go in to mask out trees (selecting tiny areas where the sky shows through the branches and leaves gives new meaning to the word ‘tedious’. All that time and effort in masking all so you can get a natural looking effect.
With Viveza its SO much easier! You drop a Control Point in the sky that should be blue, adjust the top slider to the area of the image you want effected and then go down the adjustment ‘tree’ of sliders to separately adjust your Light adjustments – Brightness, Contrast or Saturation.
Viveza is available at an academic discount price of $135.
