I’m a bit new at this but I can’t figure out how far to drag the sliders on the histogram. It says to drag just till the histogram begins to slope up but is that the first slope?? There are several. This whole histogram thing is hard for me to understand. Is there a setting to type in instead?
Thanks!

Martine, yes they mean drag the black triangle slider to the start of the first slope up

I too had some trouble understanding which slope as I have only a basic knowledge of using histograms, but with a little playing around I began to understand that you meant the first slope up. I had some photos I took in the Grand Canyon which were hazy due to the dust in the air that day, but I turned them into much clearer and haze-free shots using your technique. Thanks so much for this article and the great tips.

This really is a great way to remove the haze. I am so glad that you mate this tutorial. I will now go back to the photos that I made in Bryce Canyon and re do them with this new method. thanks, Laton

Liz,
Enjoyed the article. Can you explain your strategy for color correcting? For example are you looking for color casts first? Or are you approaching each photo with the idea of correcting the individual RGB’s? Maybe there is no one approach that works for all.

This is my first attempt to download from your site and I think I must have made an error. I first tried to download a pdf file: PET-V8N2-Cutting-Through-Haze.pdf. After it was on my computer, I tried to open it and the following message popped up from Adobe Reader: “There was an error opening the document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired”. What did I do wrong? I also tried to download a photo to work on: PET-v8n5-BryceCanyonOriginal.JPG.zip. I followed the instructions and double cliicked on the zipped folder, but when I tried to open it, a message popped up: “The Compressed (zipped) Folder is invalid or corrupted”. I obviously need some guidance….THANKS!!!
