Lightroom 6 Preset Pack Provides CC’s New “Dehaze” Feature for All

June 23, 2015 By Eric Reagan

Lightroom Dehaze Presets

Dehaze is the slick new feature in Lightroom CC that allows you to magically remove haze from a photo. It’s a pretty darn magical feature.

The downside though is that it is only available to Lightroom CC users – meaning you have to subscribe to a version of Adobe’s Creative Cloud plan. The cheapest plan is the $9.99/mo Photoshop Photography Plan that includes full versions of both Photoshop and Lightroom, along with several other connected features.

Lightroom 6 users (meaning you’ve paid a one-time fee for a software license you can use forever) are out of luck. Or, at least they don’t get the magical Dehaze slider.

Fret not perpetual license holders. You don’t have to miss out on the Dehaze magic because Stu Maschwitz (you may have heard his name associated with Red Giant as the Creative Director for the Magic Bullet product line) has put together a set of free Lightroom 6 presets that give you a wide range of Dehaze settings.

How is this possible though if Lightroom 6 doesn’t have a Dehaze slider?

According to Stu,

Lightroom 6.1 (perpetual) has the same camera raw innards as Lightroom 2015.1 (CC), including the ability to process the Dehaze adjustment. So a photo with Dehaze applied will render correctly in 6.1 (even though the parameter isn’t available), and a preset that changes the Dehaze settings will also work.

Sweet.

While Stu is making this set of presets free as a standalone preset pack because he doesn’t “really feel comfortable selling presets purely on the premise of working around an Adobe business decision,” he also included them in his Prolost Graduated Presets version 2.1 if you want to check out some other rad presets from a clearly cool guy.

    This is really great! And because he doesn’t charge for the “Dehaze”, it makes it even more likely that I’ll purchase his other presets.

      He’s a pretty cool dude. And pretty damn smart on the post processing side of photo and video.

      I’m sorry, so WHY is it necessary for him to ask for the billing information if the price is 0 ? The car t asks for phone number, cc number, address… Typical spamming database collection. which will be sold . Sorry, there are other experts that let you simply download the free staff, without ANY hooks.

        It’s because of the way his website it set up (he already apologized for it). You can use 123456 for your credit card number, because it doesn’t matter.

          Thanks Jared! I truly have no interest in anyone’s personal information, and especially not in selling it. I’m just a guy trying to provide cool stuff to the photo community. I’ve repeatedly asked Squarespace to remove this stuff from the form.

          I genuinely appreciate it when folks find my site and use my stuff, so thanks again everyone!

            Thank YOU, Stu!

            It’s really cool that you were able to help provide this feature to those of us who aren’t into Perpetual Payments.

            I’m definitely interested in your other presets, and will probably purchase later this week.

            Now, if only someone can hack the new brush features…..

    Thanks for posting this info. His presets seem worthy of purchase.

    BTW I didn’t enter any credit card number for the free download and had no issues.
