Post-photography skills: How to "remove" and increase the mist effect. In 214 Adobe Max showed two new technologies of Adobe. One is the Time of day, which can easily reverse the day and night in photos at any time. The other is automatic fog removal (Defog), which sweeps away the fog in the photo.

when the two technologies are released, every PS enthusiast is eager to try. In Photoshop CC 215, although I didn't see the function of day and night scene inversion, I finally added "Dehaze" haze removal in Camera Raw 9.1, which is really the gospel of China film friends! This function can increase or decrease the amount of fog in photos, which can not only sweep away the fog, but also create a China-style cloud artistic conception.

When using this tool, you can generally make basic adjustments to the photos first, and then switch to the "Effect" tab to adjust the slider to increase or decrease the fog. In Adobe CameraRaw 9.2, the function of "removing smog" has been upgraded-it can be adjusted locally. When you use the Radial Filter, Gradient Filter or Adjust Brush tool, you can also adjust the slider control of "Remove Fog" to defog a part of the screen.

Let's take the figure as an example to demonstrate the use and effect of the functions of "removing smog" and "increasing smog".
