Viveza and LR2

KED

I've seen this software praised on this forum, and having researched it further it looks very cool. I use LR2 (not directly supported by Viveza) and only reluctantly round-trip from there into CS3. Given LR2's new selective adjustment capabilities, does anyone have thoughts on the incremental value of Viveza?

Yeah...Adobe trumped Nik!

Viveza is cool but LR is cooler...although I still have a hard time paying the a$king price for either.

Tx - you saved me some dough! But if you have LR 1, LR 2 upgrade is only $99, which I imagine is less than Viveza stand-alone.

I didn't know that Viveza had a stand-alone version. I thought it was a $250 plug-in that needs a host program.

Either way - $99 vs $250 is a no-brainer.

That and the fact that LR is totally non destructive and working from the raw data, the other product can't do either.
