The next time you have an outdoor image, try the dehaze slider, even if the image does not appear to have need to this function. If one adds dehaze and contrast together, the result is often a very dark image, and is almost counterproductive.
#Dehaze in lightroom 5.2 skin
Using the dehaze function in the third image I was able to target the darker portions of the image increasing saturation of the skin and water but was also able to avoid the additional glare that I obtained with the contrast slider. Adding contrast did help a little, but it also increased some of the glare in the water as a result of making the whites whiter(second image). Dehaze works slightly different than contrast, in that it only focuses on the darker parts of an image, and leaves the whiter parts alone. In the first image above, I wanted to increase contrast, since the models skin was somewhat washed when I viewed it during the editing process. The Dehaze tool (Effects panel) in Photoshop Lightroom is a great way to restore the contrast and the taped photo drama. While true, a polarizer filter can certainly accomplish a similar task, it is most effective when the light source is at right angles to the filter. Photoshop Lightroom Tools The main editing tools are accessible via the Edit button, which displays a vertical stack ¢ of the compressible adjustment panels for light, color, effects, detail, optics and geometry. The dehazer can also be helpful in some cases to reduce glare on reflective surfaces. This slider can be helpful early in the morning, later in the afternoon or even if there is a light fog anytime during the day.
The Dehaze slider was introduced in photoshop and lightroom to reduce the atmospheric haze of distant objects which can leave certain objects less distinct. Bright sunlight has a habit of reducing contrast which can result in desaturated colors and even images that appear a little fuzzy. For example, in the shot of Hong Kong above left, the background buildings (in Kowloon) are really hazy, but as you can see from the image on the right, while the. This can be an important tool, especially outdoors when one in photographing landscapes or landscapes with people. First, the problem as awesome as the new Dehaze slider is (it’s found in Lightroom CC’s fx menu), the problem with it is that it applies the effect to the entire image. The Contrast slider is intended to make the darks darker and the lighter tones lighter, thus increasing contrast.
In some cases, yes they can produce very similar results. In lightroom there are two sliders that seemingly have similar functions, the Dehaze and Contrast sliders.
