Remove haze with Unsharp Mask

[Grahnman]

Just thought I'd share a neat trick for Photoshop (Elements as well) that I learned from a magazine.

If you've taken landscape photos where distant parts are hazy, try applying Unsharp Mask with these settings:

Amount = 35%

Radius = 85 pixels

Threshold = 0 levels

Voila! More contrast (especially in midtones), less haze.

I just love it when you can use filters in a different way than you're supposed to. :)

Oh yeah, the numbers aren't set in stone, so you should play around with the settings until you get the desired result.

Incredible trick. Re-applying the filter can make for some very interesting effects.
