Ever have a photo that has haze in it?  Most photos with haze in them tend to be put aside.  Clarity is at the top of the list when looking at a photo, unless belong to the "Photo Critique Police."

Newer versions of Lightroom and Lightroom, that operates in the 'Cloud,' have functions that do a great job in romoving or lessening haze.  Click and button, move a slider, and the haze is gone.  My version does not have that!

Not to be deterred, I played around with this following photo to try to lessen the haze.  The picture is of a suspension bridge that has a tunnel at one end and a normal approach the the bridge at the other.  It was taken near Bergin, Norway.

The first picture is the original and the second is my attempt to remove the haze, which took about 10 steps in the processing.  The good news is that I can save the sets as a "PRESET," which can be applied to other photos and allows additional processing, as required by the specific photo.  The effect is better seen if the pictures are 'clicked' upon to enlarge them.
