Photographers at any level can post-process their photos in much the same way that the pros do, and get polished results. With Viveza, all of those difficult steps are eliminated. To do this in Photoshop would require creating masks, working with layers, etc., a process that requires much more time and skill. You control what portion of your image those changes will affect. With Viveza, you click on the portion of the image you want to edit, and make changes to brightness, contrast, and saturation. Viveza, part of the free Google Nik Collection, is a wonderful tool that provides an easy, but highly effective way to selectively edit and control the two most important elements in any photo, color and light.
