Advertisement Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Hi JHAG, Take a look here Free for all : LR3, C1-5, Aperture X and now…. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
miami91 Posted October 29, 2009 Share #2 Posted October 29, 2009 If the unifying element here is that "software is constantly being updated", I'm not sure that qualifies as news. Between Mac software updates, Windows updates, iPhone updates (OS and, especially, apps), PS3 updates, DVR updates, etc. and so on, seems like half of my discretionary time is spent keeping gadgets bleeding edge, and/or actively preparing for their replacement/demise. Speaking of, picked up FIFA 10 today --- looks tight. Jeff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHAG Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share #3 Posted October 29, 2009 Not exactly : Aperture, Viveza and C1 did'nt have a major upgrade since 18 months. LR was a year ago if I'm not erring. I'll see if V2 has a demo download to compare with V1. You cannot judge anything from a video ad. PS : As for soccer, the only players which are not totally doped may well be the pixels players of FIFA 10. Top athletes are really a sad joke now.

Guest malland Posted October 30, 2009 Share #4 Posted October 30, 2009 ...Not sure V2 is that more useful than V1.Video is underwhelming. The video shows the two new major features of Viveza 2: the addition of a Structure slider to Control Points and introduction of Global adjustments for Brightness, Contrast and Structure (Structure is similar to Clarity in Photoshop). These changes makes Viveza 2 much more useful and parallel the features of Silver Efex, the Nik Software plugin for B&W processing. The details of Viveza 2 new features are also gives on the Viveza 2 site, as follows:Key Features: View Viveza 2 User Interface U Point powered Color Control Points for precise, selective photo editing NEW: global image adjustments, including levels & curves, make Viveza the only tool needed to enhance color and tonality in a photograph. NEW: Structure control providing fine detail and texture enhancements. NEW: Shadow Recovery control providing high quality lightening of shadows that can be applied either selectively or to the entire image. Improved color control points, with improved interaction, color rendering, and precision of selections. Improved timesaving user interface, including easier-to-grab slider controls, slider favorites, multiple zoom states, keyboard nudging, and multiple undo levels. NEW: Copy & Paste enables quick duplication of control points for more complex image enhancements NEW: Define your favorite sliders to provide a more streamlined interface. NEW: 64-bit compatibility with 64-bit versions of the Windows operating system mean the software can access more RAM for working on larger files. NEW: Built-in interactive help and online video tutorials provide free training to ensure users get the most out of the software. —Mitch/BangkokBangkok Hysteria©: Book Project Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHAG Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share #5 Posted October 30, 2009 Yes, Mitch, I saw it all and already use the whole suite. Still not much impressed by these improvements, and there is not trial yet to try them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
