Bildkorrekturen mit Kontrollpunkten in "Photoshop": Nik Software präsentiert "Viveza"

Nachdem Nik Software bereits zwei "Photoshop"-Plug-ins mit seiner patentierten und aus "Nikon Capture NX" bekannten "U-Point"-Technologie vorgestellt hat, war es vermutlich nur noch eine Frage der Zeit, bis auch Korrekturen an Sättigung, Helligkeit oder Kontrast mit "U-Point" in "Photoshop" und "Photoshop Elements" möglich werden. Das neue 250 Dollar teure Tool "Viveza" soll noch im ersten Quartal für MacOS X und Windows verfügbar sein.

"When attempting to selectively edit images, photographers typically face the challenge of isolating the color or object they want to enhance and then need to ensure the selective enhancements look natural", so Michael J. Slater, President und CEO von Nik Software. "At the heart of Viveza is our U Point technology, which uniquely addresses these challenges and provides Photoshop users with a full range of capabilities for selectively controlling color and light."

Informationen des Herstellers

"Features:

• Color Control Points – U Point technology incorporated into Viveza brings a new level of precision and efficiency to photographic image editing. Users easily control an image’s color, light and tonality with Color Control Points. Simple-to-use sliders let users quickly adjust brightness, contrast, saturation, red, green, blue, hue, and warmth, providing ultimate mastery over digital images. Enhancements are automatically and naturally blended throughout the image for spectacular results.
• Smart Filter Support – Viveza is compatible with Adobe Photoshop’s Smart Filter feature which permits users to fine-tune enhancements after they’ve been applied, without adding additional layers.
• Powerful Selective Tool – Viveza’s Selective Tool allows users to brush any light and color changes into their image using Photoshop’s brush tools. Layers and masks are created automatically, enabling users to quickly and easily apply any filter selectively.
• For added control and fine detail adjustments, Viveza also supports pressure-sensitive features optimized for Wacom Pen Tablets.

• Nik Software’s Viveza™ will be available directly from Nik Software (http://www.niksoftware.com) and specialty camera retailers in North America in the first quarter of 2008.
