\"Dehaze_Color_Off\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Without Dehaze<\/p>\n

\"Dehaze_Color_Artifacts\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Dehaze may create color artifacts<\/p>\n

\"Dehaze_Color_Final\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Color artifacts removed<\/p>\n

Color\u00a0without Dehaze blended with luminosity with Dehaze<\/p>\n

\"Dehaze_Color_Layers\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The top layer is set to a blend mode of Color<\/p>\n

When you\u2019re using Lightroom or Camera Raw, you\u2019ll quickly find the Dehaze slider can produce marvelous contrast effects. Dehaze can dramatically exceed the contrast that can be produced with either Curves or Clarity. Sometimes it will reveal detail you couldn\u2019t see with your eyes!<\/p>\n

.<\/span>
\nOften, there\u2019s a price to pay for these great effects – color shifts. Neutral areas may turn magenta. Shadows may pick up strong blue or green casts. To make matters worse, these unwanted artifacts are rarely uniform, which makes them harder to fix.<\/p>\n

.<\/span>
\nIf you\u2019re lucky you can compensate by reducing Saturation after using Dehaze. When you do this, it\u2019s likely that you\u2019ll end up choosing the least objectionable version or making a compromise you\u2019d prefer not to. Frequently, to avoid these side effects, you\u2019ll be tempted to not to push Dehaze as far as you\u2019d like to.
\nThere is a cure that will help you go as far as you\u2019d like, without producing color shifts. Render your image twice. First, render it with as much Dehaze as you\u2019d like. Second, render it without Dehaze.<\/p>\n

.<\/span>
\nThen place the version without Dehaze in a layer on top of the version with Dehaze. Change the Blend Mode of the top layer to Color. This will give you a combination of the color of the top layer (without Dehaze\u2019s color artifacts) and the luminosity of the bottom layer (with Dehaze\u2019s contrast).<\/p>\n

.<\/span>
\nHow do you make two layers from one Raw file?<\/p>\n

.<\/span>
\nIf you\u2019re using Lightroom, make a virtual copy and then double click on the Dehaze slider. Highlight the original file and the virtual copy and select Photo > Edit In > Open as Layers in Photoshop. Now in Photoshop, make sure to change the top layer\u2019s blend mode from Normal to Color.<\/p>\n

.<\/span>
\nIf you\u2019re using Camera Raw, open your Raw file as a smart object, then select New Smart Object via Copy in the Layer menu, and finally double click on the top layer to return the Dehaze slider to 0. Remember, change the top layer\u2019s blend mode from Normal to Color.<\/p>\n

.<\/span>
\nThe technique of using the color of one layer to overlay another layer can be used for many applications. Here, it makes Dehaze even more useful.<\/p>\n
