Dehaze magic

[DaPOPO]

Check out the before and after using Dehaze in Lightroom. I painted the sky and water separately using a little less on the water. The rest is a little exposure setting and sharpness to make it look as I wanted.

Dehaze on the sky and water... I followed the outline of the ship and painted inside of the scaffolding near the top. I can only guess that the clouds were not as thick the higher it went and that's why the gray stays near the ship...

Couple of suggestions.

1. Do a global adjustment of the Dehaze slider first before you do selective adjustments.
   
2. Rather then using a brush for Dehaze, try pulling a gradient filter down from the top as haze tends to be higher rather then lower. Then use the brush over the parts you don't want the Dehaze to apply
   
   Holding down the Alt key will cycle the brush between Add and delete from the mask. Also set your range
   
   mask to either color or luminosity. Some of the newer camera's also offer depth here. Now brush away the areas you don't want the Dehaze to affect.

DeHaze is a pretty impressive effect, it really is magical on a foggy scene.
The colors start to get weird with heavy use, though. I can always spot heavy DeHaze use when the skies turn green.
