The selective color doesn't seem to work for me. I slide the slider, but the color doesn't come back.

It also seems much slower. Is anyone else having these problems? I've restarted Photoshop. I'll restart the computer in a bit (my computer is a pain to restart -- it takes forever.)

I did upgrade viveza before installing Efex 2

Drop selection points in the areas you want to add back color. If the selection points overspray, then drop other selection points in the surrounding area to refine the areas of influence.

Wowza. Lot of good things happening here. Love the new border possibilities, though of course they are useless for DPC, probably. We'll have to run some by SC. They aren't clip-art, since you can generate them randomly...

How did you guys get the trial to install? I upgraded my viveza 2 to the latest 2.004 version and i still get the message that says the trial has expired....very frustrating...

15 day free trial for Silver Efex Pro 2. Click on the trial button. I didn't follow through with the procedure, but it should work. If not, then contact customer support.

Still at work...does it have group control points like Viveza 2?

Yes, you can group control points and adjust the group settings with one set of sliders.

Also, the intuitive adjustments history works well.

Having fun playing with the adjustments.

I figured out how to do it -- just nothing happens when I drag that slider. No effect.

I'll reboot everything in the morning, and if that doesn't fix it, I'll reinstall.

I'm in the same boat, just purchased there complete software suite for lightroom, received all the codes and the links for download, but as you said the site is down! drat, drat, and double drat!

Ok. Reinstalling fixed the saturation issue (and the site's back up.)
