![Viveza](/media/viveza.png)Today [Nik Software](http://www.niksoftware.com) announced the availability of it's U-point-technology based editing plugin for Apple's Aperture 2.1 called [Viveza](http://www.niksoftware.com/viveza).

With Viveza photographers are able to select areas from their images and adjust them separately from the rest of the picture by defining so called Color Control Points.

A 15 day trial is available from the website of the plugin. The whole plugin will cost you US$ 249.

Now it should be just a matter of days or weeks before [the other recently announced plugins](http://www.kremalicious.com/2008/04/first-aperture-adjustment-plugins-have-arrived/) will be available too.

Finally here's a first test of the plugin from photographer Jim Crotty:
