Hi,
The haze removal tool introduced in Elements 14 is considered to be quite effective. Nevertheless, there may be some situations where one would prefer exercising more control when trying to remove or reduce haze, for instance with colour rendering and contrast.
With no haze removal tool
The tutorials bellow show ways to remove or reduce haze without using the haze removal tool. They are interesting to consult because they use and mix in various ways different means and tools such as the Gradient Fill, Levels, and Hue/Saturation adjustment layers, the eyedropper, blending modes, layer masks and sharpening.
Cutting Through Haze, Liz Ness, Adobe Photoshop Elements Users, March-April 2011, Volume 8, Number 2, p.7
Remove Blue Haze
Remove Haze for PSE 13 and Prior
Remove Haze Without Filters
Remove Haze Using PSE
Graduated filter (Elements+)
Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) for Elements lacks features available in ACR for Photoshop as well as in Lightroom that can be useful to remove or reduce haze. Among these features we could cite the graduated filter and the Tone Curve. Many Elements users already know that Elements+ gives them access to more advanced options with the Tone Curve than the ones provided in the Adjust Color Curves feature found under the Enhance menu. It is worth mentioning that Elements+ also offers a graduated filter for Raw corrections.
Discussion on the various corrections applied by the haze removal tool
The following video contains an interesting discussion on the various corrections applied by the haze removal tool all together. It may give ideas if it appears that isolating some of these corrections could be useful, even though the title is: How to use Dehaze in Photoshop.
Comments and additions are more than welcome.
