I found this article very useful. I have downloaded the trial version and found it very effective and easy to use. The precise masks that it creates very quickly is impressive. What I really like is that if you choose to you can make the adjustment a layer mask and just paint in the areas that you want to effect. Very cool!!! Now if I could just talk my super into making the purchase all would be well.
If you do complex color correct on the fly I would highly recommend this addition to your workflow.
Yes, expensive. No pain, no gain. In reality, my world is breakneck. I spend one day doing an architectural photo shoot, I can't spend 4 days manipulating the photos. I tend to throw money at problems. I later wish I could get most of it back.
Viveza is a great tool. I use it on almost every photo. Key points: 1) Speed, 2) Professional results. Worth the money.

Similar to Nik's Silver Efex Pro for monochrome images. I have that and began to ask myself why Photoshop didn't have it in color.
I'm not sure if I want to splurge for this price.
I've been using the s/w for a couple of weeks and have been amazed at its intuitiveness and capabilities. The review above is accurate. Viveza is powerful and easy to use, providing an excellent editing tool in support of Photoshop.
I wonder why so many people seem to like to "sell" this product as a better solution to masking, when it's basically using a solution that's easily available in Photoshop. People who claim that this is a good product, are either not very skilled with Photoshop or are earning commission by promoting this product. Take for example the color correction for the flower; there are tons of single tools in Photoshop that tackle this issue withOUT creating any selection or mask.

Pricing
Why out of line for what it do - overpriced, but good; but then a good action will do all and more.
Viveza
I bought the entire Nik Pro Package and I feel it is the best editing tool around. It's simply amazing and frees up much of my time.
