Readjusting a Viveza Layer

[Ed Cordes]

I am a big fan of Viveza (originally a NIK plugin). There are times I want to go back and readjust a control point after I closed the plugin and it created its layer. While I realize I can adjust the layer opacity to lower than 100% this is not the same as going in and addressing specific control points. Is there a method of reopening the Viveza adjustment panel after the layer was created. Thanks

Here's the way I do it: 1. Create a layer. 2. Make it a Smart Object 3. Load Viveza on to that layer.

Now, you can go back into Viveza as many times as you want to modify any or all of the control points by simply double-clicking on the filter name on the Smart Object layer.

Thanks John. This is just what I need. I will give it a go later tonight.

You can load up all your NIK and Topaz filters onto the one Smart object too. No need for separate ones for each effect.

HI Ed, Been real busy at work sorry for the late reply I tried to find a way without using a smart object layer and could not so the smart object option is the only way I know of.
