Reducing Haze in Lightroom 5 or Photoshop CS6

bioteacher

Can anyone direct me to a good tutorial in how to remove/reduce haze/fog from a picture using either of these programs? I also have the Topaz and Nik Collections.
I did a search, but came up empty for all of those people that say you should do a search before posting a question.

Here is one I found for Photoshop

In LR I usually fiddle with all sliders until I see something worth pursuing then try anything to enhance it.

Just a note.

Many times photos will appear hazy or foggy even on Non Foggy days. This happens for a variety of reasons and is a symptom of a needed color correction. One way to correct this is with a Curves adjustment layer in PS. I typically will do this manually but there is an Auto color correct in curves that works pretty well most of the time.

In lr5 sliding the contrast to the right will help.

I did a thread on this about a year ago. I don't know why your search didn't find it. I didn't get any good suggestions but I'll look in my data to see if I can.

There was a good article in Photoshop Elements Mag a couple of years ago that gave one good procedure that worked in some cases. I didn't find it generally useful.

Ah, found it: http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-45030-1.html

Simple solution: get Adobe RAW, import your images through it and use the clarity slider. This works for every situations and can be used with all file formats. You do not need any other product and adobe RAW is free!
