In this tutorial we’ll take a look at the Dehaze slider in Adobe Lightroom (Photoshop and ON1 too) and learn the best times to add it as well as the best times to avoid it.

Hi,Another great tutorial! I like the comparisons of when, when not, and selective approaches.
Clear instruction. (no pun intended). Keep up the great work.
Great video. Do you ever come to UK to do Lightroom workshops?
Hi Jenny. No plans in the near future. Sorry 🙂
Thank you, Matt. I like the way you are creeping up our knowledge based.
Thanks Matt. For those still using Lr 6.x (and there are a few), you can still get access to the Dehaze tool – mostly. Stu at Prolost has made a series of Dehaze presets available: https://proloststore.com/products/dehaze
A couple of examples of them in use here: https://www.wolfnowl.com/2017/01/using-dehaze-with-lightroom-6-x/

Another great tutorial, Matt! Appreciate the explanation on the effects of the dehaze slider. Your videos are always so very timely.
Thanks Matt! A very timely tutorial as I work on landscape images for image competition. Subtle corrections work best.
Hi Matt,
I use Dehaze a bit and found this discussion helpful. I agree that too much destroys the sky and mood if that is what you are after.
BTW, there is a neat Photoshop trick that nobody seems to use. If you are using a Brush, instead of using the bracket key to change the size of the Brush, if you right-click and hold Alt (on PC), then if you drag the Brush left or right, it automatically changes the size. Also, if you drag the Brush up and down it will change the hardness of the Brush. I find this much easier to use than the bracket keys plus it allows the hardness to be changes as well.
ANyway, thanks for the tutorial.
Cheers,
Mel
Mel: I just use the mouse wheel to change the brush size…
Mike, that works for me in LR, but not in PS. I’ve been hoping for this capability in PS for some time now.
Another great tutorial!! Thanks Matt K.!

I am learning how important it is to make SUBTLE changes. Use a delicate hand. Thank you.
Very helpful, concise and with a nice range of situations. Thank you!
Great tutorial – just back from a trip through the Rockies (San Fran to Chicago) lots of images that fit what you have just discussed – almost like a private tutorial just for me. Thanks
awesome tutorial, thank you
Great tutorial. Didn’t realize dehaze has such an effect on blue. Thanks so much.
Oh yeah. Dehaze has been known for making normal blue skies, electric blue 🙂
What a great overview about the haze filter that should benefit many!
Thanks, Matt. This is very helpful. I like the subtle approach.
