Viveza 2
Viveza 2 is a photo-editing plugin and standalone application from DxO Labs (now acquired by Google) that specializes in selective color and tone adjustments. It allows photographers to isolate and enhance specific areas of an image — for example, brightening skin tones, deepening skies, or correcting localized color casts — without affecting the rest of the photo. The app works as both a standalone processor and as a plugin for Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom, making it a popular tool for portrait and landscape retouching workflows. It supports JPEG, TIFF, PNG, GIF, BMP and PSD file formats.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionViveza 2 has not been updated to run natively on Apple Silicon — the most recent version (5.0.1, released in 2018) is Intel-only and will stop working entirely when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028). DxO Labs has not announced plans to ship a native build. Given that the app has not received updates in over six years and the parent company was acquired by Google, it appears development has effectively ceased. You have two realistic options: first, contact DxO directly to confirm whether a native build is planned before September 2028 — if not, you should begin planning a migration now rather than waiting until your app stops launching. Second, consider switching to an actively maintained alternative that runs natively on Apple Silicon, such as Lightroom Classic (which includes built-in local adjustment brushes and HSL controls), Capture One Pro (which has powerful color grading tools), or Skylum's Luminar AI (which offers selective adjustment layers and AI-powered editing). If you have existing Viveza 2 presets or workflows, exporting your work and manually recreating adjustments in one of these alternatives is typically the best long-term approach.
