U Point Technology
U Point powered controls allow you to precisely control where enhancements are applied without the need for complicated selections or layer masks. Enhancements are automatically and naturally blended throughout your image for spectacular results.

Easily control color, light, and structure with U Point powered control points. Simple-to-use sliders let you quickly adjust brightness, contrast, saturation, structure, shadows, red, green, blue, hue, and warmth, giving you complete control over your image. A grouping feature provides even more powerful control.
Global Image Adjustments
Go straight to Viveza and apply any color, light, or structure enhancement image-wide with the ability to refine any global adjustment selectively using control points. Also includes levels & curves for even more control over contrast and tonality.
Structure Adjustment
Enhance or reduce fine details in your images for an amazing look.
Shadow Adjustments
Never lose shadow detail again. Easily recover details hidden in shadows selectively with a control point, or apply image-wide.

    Comments about Nik Software Viveza 2 Software (Academic License):

    One of the best things about this software is the ability to change the exposure, saturation, contrast, etc. of specific areas of the photo. Other software I've used only effected global changes or I've had to create tedious masks to work on a specific area. What a huge time saver! I use this software within Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 on a Mac, and it works flawlessly.
    The customer support is also excellent. I emailed questions to the company on two different occasions and each was answered thoroughly and promptly.

    Best tool for localized adjustments

    By AZWolf

    from Arizona

    Verified Buyer

    Pros

    • Easy To Collaborate Across Programs
    • More efficient workflow

    Cons

    • No post edit in Lightroom

    Best Uses

    • Photography

    Comments about Nik Software Viveza 2 Software (Academic License):

    Being a huge fan of Silver Efex Pro 2 getting Viveza for my color images was a no brainer. Control points are the best way I've found to make precise adjustments to localized areas of color and tone. I essentially use them like masks only it's often much easier than masks in PS and to isolate regions (Lightroom allows one to isolate a color but it's throughout the image.) It's not that you can't eventually accomplish the same tasks in PS or LR but Viveza adds a tool that makes my overall digital workflow easier and more efficient.
