Josh Haftel, Product Manager, Nik Software joins host Scott Sheppard to share details about Viveza, their latest award winning plug-in for Adobe Photoshop powered by their intuitive U Point technology which is already part of their Capture NX program. With the U Point technology, a photographer can say goodbye to edit intensive masking, complicated area selections, and layer adjustments and work intuitively and directly on their images.

The Viveza plug-in allows you to click the tool onto an area of the image that you’d like to change and it brings up localized adjustment slider bars that control brightness, color, contrast, and more. It automatically recognizes and adjusts just the surrounding element areas of the image i.e. sky, skin, grass, buildings, etc. based on where you point your mouse, and different areas of the image can be edited individually without layers or detailed selections.
