Haze is a part of photography. However, Adobe Lightroom can help you reduce it. So, here's how to reduce haze in photos.
Adobe Lightroom has a specific slider that helps you reduce haze in photos. The Dehaze slider in Lightroom helps you fix those photos you discarded because they were too foggy or hazy.
Lightroom's Dehaze slider might give these photos a second chance, even if you couldn't save them using contrast, exposure, and tone curve edits.
So, let's see how to reduce haze in photos using the Dehaze slider in Lightroom. We'll show you where to find it and how to use it to give your landscape photography a boost.
Where Is the Dehaze Tool in Adobe Lightroom?
You can find the Dehaze tool in the Basic panel in Adobe Lightroom CC Classic. In the latest versions of Lightroom Classic, you can also take the help of artificial intelligence to selectively mask parts of a photo and apply the Dehaze corrections.
Note: Dehaze is also a feature in Lightroom CC, the Lightroom mobile apps, and Lightroom Web, plus Camera RAW and Adobe Photoshop CC.
The Dehaze tool is under Effects in all other versions. But it was moved under the Basic panel in the more powerful Lightroom CC Classic. So, let's look at the Classic panel first.
- Launch Adobe Lightroom.
- Go to File > Import Photos and Videos. Browse to your image and click on Import.
- Switch to the Develop module.
- On the right-hand panel, go down to the Basics panel (in earlier versions, it was under Effects).
- In the Presence section, drag the Dehaze slider to the right to reduce haze in your photo.
- You can also move the Dehaze slider to the left to increase the haze in your photo for a creative effect.
- To reset your adjustments back to the default, double-click the slider to return it to its neutral value of zero. Read More…
