Viveza 2
Viveza 2 is a selective editing and local adjustment tool from DxO Labs designed for photographers. It lets users enhance specific regions of an image using masks, brushes and gradients to adjust exposure, contrast, saturation, vibrance, clarity and other tonal properties without affecting the entire photo. Viveza 2 works as a standalone app and as a plugin for Photoshop and Lightroom, making it popular with photo retouchers and enthusiasts who want precise control over localized edits. It is particularly valued for its non-destructive workflow and intuitive masking interface.

1 suggestionViveza 2 is built for Intel processors only (cputype X86 confirmed in the binary analysis) and no native Apple Silicon build has been released. DxO Labs has not shipped an update to Viveza 2 since version 5.0.1 in 2018, suggesting the product is no longer under active development. The app continues to run under Rosetta 2 today, but Apple is removing Rosetta in macOS 28 (September 2028), at which point this Intel-only build will stop launching entirely. If you rely on Viveza 2's selective editing workflow, you should plan a transition now. For local adjustment work, Photoshop's recent versions (2021 and later) include significantly improved selective editing tools via the new Masking engine and adjustment layers. Lightroom Classic and the subscription Lightroom (both now native on Apple Silicon) also support non-destructive local adjustments through brushes, masks and graduated filters. Alternatively, Capture One Pro (native on Apple Silicon since version 21) is a professional RAW editor with excellent local adjustment capabilities and direct Viveza 2 adjustment preset import, making migration straightforward for existing users.
