Depth-aware contrast
Near and distant areas are balanced instead of receiving one uniform contrast increase.
Haze reduction workflow
Image Dehazer targets low-contrast scenes affected by mist, pollution, smoke-like atmospheric veil, or distant haze. It restores separation where the source supports it without flattening every layer into an exaggerated HDR look.
Near and distant areas are balanced instead of receiving one uniform contrast increase.
Some depth haze can remain when it is part of the original scene.
Haze correction considers unwanted casts that appear as contrast returns.
Haze lowers contrast across distance, while focus blur softens edges regardless of depth. Diagnosis helps avoid applying dehaze to a photograph that primarily needs unblur.
Landscapes, city views, aerial images, and scenes through light atmospheric veil can regain more useful separation between foreground, midground, and background.
Inspect gradients, clouds, mountains, skylines, and vegetation. Excessive dehazing can create banding, dark outlines, or oversaturated distant objects.
Dense fog and opaque smoke can hide the scene completely. The workflow cannot prove or accurately recover structures that do not appear in the captured image.
