Photography Blog Reviews Viveza

added on 2008-06-21 05:40:00
by Tanya Palta

Viveza by Nikon was reviewed by the Photography Blog and they highly recommend it. The plug-in is genuinely easy to use and makes post processing much easier and is compatible with almost all imaging software’s like Photoshop Elements, and Apple Aperture.

The U-Point feature in Viveza is a nifty addition to make selective adjustments. Another point where Viveza scores is its price as Photography Blog think it’s a value for money product.

Conclusion:
“Viveza only does one thing, but it does it better than any tool I've ever used. If you spend a lot of time in Photoshop or Aperture editing your images, you'll find Viveza will quickly become an integral part of your workflow, and it will repay the cost of purchase in no time at all.”
