sparks 7 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Good morning ALL seeking advice on how to "cut through" DESERT HAZE (Middle east) affecting various raw files that I wish to work on in Lightroom before sending in submission. I haven't any experience on desert work preparation. All advice would be gratefully accepted. Thanks Sparks! Link to post Share on other sites

spacecadet 3,769 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 In Dubai I found the problem was more likely to be dust. Link to post Share on other sites

Ollie 95 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Sparks: First increase the Clarity slider and evaluate what effect it has. If more haze remains, then start to gently increase the contrast slider. If the haze is primarily in the distance, rather than apply the contrast slider to the entire image, use the adjustment brush and apply the contrast just to those portions of the image where the haze is especially noticeable. Let us know if that solves your problem. Ollie Link to post Share on other sites
Bill Brooks 1,327 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Deserts sometimes have haze. Does the haze give a desert feel to the image, thereby enhancing the image? Maybe you should leave the haze in, or even add more haze in Lightroom. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
