COMMON PHOTO PROBLEMS SOLVED
Y
You often get distant haze in
landscape shots. It happens
when there’s dust or
moisture in the air, and
increases with distance. It’s sometimes
called ‘aerial perspective’ and can be a
useful creative effect, but much of the
time it’s an annoyance because the
spectacular backdrop we thought we
were going to get comes out looking
unexpectedly flat.
Which is where the new Remove
Haze option in Elements 14 comes
in. It’s designed to restore contrast
and colour to distant hazy views,
but without affecting objects in the
foreground.
It’s billed as a tool for enhancing
landscapes, since this is where you’re
most likely to notice the effects of haze
on contrast, but we’re using it here to
restore detail to a weak and hazy sky.Remove haze from your photos...............................................
Hazy backdrops can spoil otherwise attractive
landscape photos, so here is a tool that can help

Haze Removal controls
The key controls in this window are at the bottom.
These are sliders for Haze Reduction and Sensitivity,
and by default you should find the two sliders set to about
two-thirds of their maximum travel – this corresponds
roughly with the Auto Haze Removal settings.1
Where to find Haze Removal
The Haze Removal options are on the Enhance menu,
and this is available in both Quick and Expert modes.
You can use the Auto Haze Removal option on the menu to
get a quick result, though for maximum control you need to
select the Haze Removal tool further down the menu.BEFORE
