Viveza 2
Viveza 2 is a photo editing tool for adjusting color, tone, and contrast with global and local controls in the Nik Collection workflow.
What is Viveza 2?
Viveza 2 is a photo editing app focused on color and tonal correction for photographs. It helps photographers refine brightness, contrast, saturation, structure, white balance, and selective tonal ranges without building complex manual masks. A key part of its workflow is local adjustment using control points and other selection tools so changes can be applied to specific areas of an image. Users commonly encounter it as part of the Nik Collection on macOS and Windows, either alongside a host editor or in supported standalone workflows. It is useful for portrait, landscape, and general image enhancement work where quick targeted edits are more important than full catalog management or layer-based compositing. DxO continues to position Viveza within the broader Nik Collection family of creative and corrective photo tools.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
Viveza 2 is legitimate photo-editing software. It normally needs access to images you open or send from a compatible editor, which is expected for its purpose. Removing it can stop Nik Collection workflows or plug-in features from working until the software is reinstalled, but it does not usually create unusual system risk on its own.
Recommendation: Keep Viveza 2 if you use Nik Collection or rely on its selective photo-adjustment tools. If you no longer edit photos with it, you can remove it to free space and simplify your applications list.
