U Point™ technology: Intelligent and intuitive local adjustments

U Point™ technology allows you to make local adjustments with just a few clicks, targeting areas of your images intelligently based on object edges, brightness and colors — all without having to use complex masks.

Place Control Points with a click of the mouse and make targeted changes with ease.

Fine-tune the impact of each Control Point by tweaking its sensitivity to local color and brightness.

Make a series of smart adjustments with Control Points that combine intelligently with one another.

One powerful tool, lots of different uses

Use U Point™ technology to target the impact of your presets in Nik Color Efex, then control hue, brightness, and contrast in Nik Viveza.

You can also use U Point to make precise local adjustments to exposure in Nik HDR Efex, noise reduction in Nik Dfine, and sharpness in Nik Sharpener.

Selective Tones for absolute precision

In addition to being able to adjust the Red, Green, Blue and Hue values when making local adjustments, U Point™ technology allows you to make changes to Highlights, Shadows, Midtones, and Blacks.

These Selective Tones give you an unprecedented level of control over specific regions of your image.
