It's not for sale yet! You can preorder! Sure looks good to me.

Looks cool, although it appears the Nik Color Effects Pro can do everything Viveza can do.

The one issue I see is price. You have a plugin approaching the price of CS3 itself. Lightroom has similar functionality but not as robust.

I downloaded it and am using the 15 day trial. I love it. I am not photoshop savvy and this makes is VERY simple for me to use. It is living up to Color Efex which I LOVE!

I just downloaded the trial myself and will probably purchase after the trial is over. All this can be achieved in Photoshop but it takes much longer. It will be a time saver for me! I currently use the color efex pro 3 Complete and absolutely love it. Pricey software, but cuts way down on processing time.

It appears to function a lot like Nikon Capture NX (which I think was designed by Nik in the first place). If it is faster than Capture with the same features, then it would be worth it to me

I have actually bought this because I use Color efex 3.0 and I understood immediately how to apply the software to my workflow. In fact, most of my editing, except for dodge and burn is done via these robust plugins from Nik and onOne. I highly recommend these because they allow selective editing without the appearance of making any selections.

If you are a NAPP member, it is on special now for $199.
