Nik Software has released a version of its Viveza plug-in that is compatible with Apple's Aperture 2.1 photo workflow software. Viveza implements Nik's U Point technology to provide a highly intuitive way to make color and lighting adjustments to specific elements of a photograph. To alter the brightness, contrast, saturation, or color in an area of an image with Viveza, you click on a color or an object to create a Control Point. Sliders then appear right on the image so that you can make fine adjustments and see their effects in real time. The program automatically generates masks to preserve the adjustments you've made.
Viveza for Aperture is available now from Nik's Web site for $249.95 and as a 15-day free trial. Boxed versions will be available in June 2008. Current owners of Viveza for Photoshop can upgrade for free to a version that includes Aperture compatibility.
