I'm not too savvy with Lightroom algorithms, however it appears that Dehaze adjusts the image saturation, sharpness, contrast and possibly noise reduction / smoothing. In doing so, we notice that Dehaze applies a formula to change several of the image's properties. Move it all the way left (-100) to increase the haze effect and all the way to the right (100) to decrease the haze effect. The most simple way to see the changes Dehaze makes to your image is to play with the slider. similar to the photo filters available on your cell phone.ĭehaze is located in bottom of the Effects box in the Develop Module. This is not the best placement for a feature meant to be used all the time, which may be better off in the Basic box, however when thought of as a combination of image property adjustments (as discussed below) it makes sense that it is categorized as an effect. For underwater photography, we are primarily interested in removing the reeling of haze in order to increase sharpness / clarity lost underwater.ĭehaze is comprised of a single slider, which is located in the "Effects" box at the bottom right colum of the Develop module. It will increase or decrease the feeling of haze in your photos, whether from mist or particles in the water. The new Dehaze feature does exactly what the name implies.

and may be incentive to switch over to the Creative Cloud subscription.Ĭreative Cloud allows access to Adobe's full suite of products, and while there are some very cool updates across the board, we as underwater photographers will be primarily interested in Lightroom's new feature: Dehaze. If you're using Photoshop Creative Suite or a standard version of Lightroom, then these features are off-limits for the time being. Adobe has just released Creative Cloud 2015, with some performance and feature updates.
