How can the Dehaze Filter Help Me?
This filter reduces the little bit of soft fog that generally is on images. Coming from light striking atmospheric dust and/or moisture can cause a haze. Also light on the front of your lens can cause haze. When was the last time you used your lens shade?
To the rescue Dehaze filter. Just using a little bit goes a long way towards improving portrait images.
Where to Find the Dehaze Filter
Found in the develop module under Effects- it can add a haze or remove it for portraits between 5 and 10 otherwise it is too harsh. For other types of images you can adjust much higher depending upon the look and amount of haze. Dehaze is found in Lightroom 6 or higher.
