Viveza 2 from Nik Software, is part of Nik's collection of plugins for Photoshop, Elements, Lightroom & Aperture, is one of the most powerful plugins available and is a must-have for all photographers and anyone interested in improving their photos from beginners to experts. The full suite of Nik plugins is now only $149 and includes not only Viveza but also Silver Efex Pro, Color Efex etc.
With it one can easily & quickly make local or global adjustments to their photographs by controlling such things as exposure, contrast, saturation, structure, shadow adjustments, warmth, and more.
Viveza 2 is not just for photographers. It's great for illustrators, web designers, graphic designers, bloggers, teachers, and any other individual who takes their photography somewhat seriously.
In this course Matt and I will go through all of the important functions and controls of the software. Watch us use and explain the software and follow along on your computer using the same photos that are included in this course.
You will be amazed at how quick & easy it is to do such normally complicated tasks such as darken or lighten a specific color, increase or decrease shadows, or replace specific colors. And best of all, you will learn how easy and fun it is to enhance "snapshot" photos into works of art.
We have been teaching Viveza in our regular photo workshops for years and it has become one of the favorite and most used tools for our students. Most of our students who are intimidated by Photoshop find it incredibly easy and fun to make photo enhancements using Viveza.
