Nik Software's 'Viveza' Plug-in allows Photographers to selectively modify colour, light and tonality in their photographs.
Using Nik Software's patented 'U Point technology' powered control points, the user can isolate objects or regions within a photograph that they wish to modify both quickly and easily. Viveza then offers sliders to modify the brightness, contrast, hue, saturation, separate red, green and blue values and the clarity of the area selected.
Nik Software's 'U Point' technology eliminates the need for complex masking/selections by analyzing the position of the control point's colour, tonality, detail and location so the object you wish to modify is selected and surrounding areas are not.
Viveza works with 8 or 16 Bit images and is also compatible with Photoshop's 'Smart Filter' option making your 'Viveza' adjustments non-destructive and re-editable.

Thanks for the heads up on this range of products. Notably, the site states that Vivenza now works in conjunction with Lightroom v.2 and on 16 bit smart objects in CS4. Could be interesting...
