One of the 'new' adjustments in Lightroom is Dehaze, it's very powerful and I use it very sparingly, 3 - 10% at the most in normal images.

I believe it's a complex algorithm similar to highlight and shadows, which increases the micro contrast of detail at the dark end. It can transform an image without affecting the overall settings. A sort of detail extractor, it can bring out otherwise invisible (or unnoticeable), detail and texture.


Yup...got it in Affinity Photo as well...it's very good. I use it to lose some of the 'haze', or rather, internal reflection when photographing through double glazing. In it's own way it adds contrast and clears any 'fogging' whatever the source.:thumbs:
