I have spent years taking photographs of industrial and archictetural subjects, and more recently, panoramas such as landscapes, cityscapes and nature shots. I also have considerable experience reworking the images produced by others. I recently discovered this product and ordered it along with another plug-in.
This software is intuitive, logical, selective and versatile. You can make any changes you want without affecting the original image whatsoever. The floating controls are a pleasure to use. AND the online tutorials from the vendor are superb.

Nice idea BUT!!
Takes over PS5 and crashes. Uninstalled and PS5 works great. Reinstalled and PS5 slow and crashes. I know what I'm doing with a computer and this doesn't perform up to any acceptable standard.

Comments about Nik Software Viveza 2 Software:
I take lots of photos and in real world photography, you can't control the lighting in most out of studio situations. Most of us then use Photoshop to get our photos looking the best they can be, or to add our own artistic vision to these images, but unless you're a bit of a Photoshop expert, making image changes can be very confusing and time consuming. With Viveza 2 however, with it's very simple and intuitive interface and controls, everyone can produce remarkable results.

Comments about Nik Software Viveza 2 Software:
Makes changes to color and luminosity in your images intuitive and easy.
Add structure (detail) to areas of your image without affecting other areas.
Like NIK of old, add control points (individual or group) and make subtle edits without layers or masks.

Comments about Nik Software Viveza 2 Software:
This software is great, I actually have the Color Efex in the series as well. Viveza is a photoshop plugin that I use primary to isolate areas of the photograph that need more dimension and character to them. I frequently use the Structure slider to give details to clouds, trees, water etc. You can use the saturation or brightness slider to help with part of the photograph that didn't turn out as well as others. You can do some of these things with Color Efex Pro as well. The only difficult thing was using the brush feature because it took it back into photoshop and at first I couldn't flatten the image because it still had the plugin open but I figured it out.

Comments about Nik Software Viveza 2 Software:
I used this with Lightroom 3 and find it very easy to operate and the results are great.
One particular spot could be enhanced without adding those boring layers and then copied to other spots with varying sizes for different areas.
Hopefully Viveza 3 will also have Luminance, similar to LR3.
