Dehaze Filter coming to Lightroom?

You can't replicate DeHaze with any of the existing controls, not even close. Pretty amazing new tool.
I could not disagree with this more. This slider is welcome but not needed.
So your opinion of this is based on comparison of the two?
My opinion is based on the same thing as digidog...from that minute-long video. Let's be truthful here, all of us has encountered haze at some point and we've all corrected it the same exact way, WITHOUT a magical dehaze slider.
I'm not basing this on a video! I wouldn't make such claims based on just viewing a video as you did.

They took my money when they said(via email) i needed to be on cs6 to be able to upgrade whatever came next(CC subscription) and they lied. from cs3 and up was able to upgrade to CC, so yes they lied to loyal customers to get a few more bucks out of us. Whether you like it or not.
You going to be alright? Need a tissue? I don't feel bad for you, you paid for a product and got said product. You still have access to said product.
 
Sorry, if you are looking for a Queen look elsewhere. As for their way of transitioning it is SLEAZY! They are doing it in a way to manipulate people into subscriptions. I doubt they killed anyone but the other two items may be questionable. Not going into details on this or any further as I am not that interested in their methods or debating about them. Good Luck.
 
Of course, you are right. You can always do it the old way and pat yourself on the back and say you don't need that new feature. And people can complain that they purchased Lightroom 6 and will get this new feature. They were told that from the very beginning. And while it will still be possible to do things the old way, new methods that simplify things just seem to work better. If you don't want the new stuff, don't worry about it. But don't complain, either. You made choice, now live with it.

Until others can test this themselves, I'll say again, no, you can't get the same results the 'old way', this new technology doesn't exist in the current toolset.
 
what can I say, $10 a month is nothing. $120 a year. How much was it to upgrade each year from cs4-5-6 ? yeah lol. Limited version? Don't think so. If it were limited there would be a CS7 version of Photoshop providing extra capability and you guys wouldn't be crying.

Adobe has stated that the $10 photography bundle of LR and PS is here to stay.

By then there will be extremely good competition so it won't matter much for us and Adobe wouldn't dare increase prices. Maybe they would decrease prices just to keep people with them :)
 
What makes you think I am crying? Did my original post not sound happy enough celebrating the fact that Adobe is almost giving away one of the most highly regarded software to date? I'm on the side of the fence that doesn't complain and live in a victimised state of mind.

my first comment was slightly off topic I guess. My main intention was to back up the support for LR getting the Haze filter by saying you can't go wrong investing in LR when it is only $10 a month including PS. Had any viewers of this thread read through the comments section and were on the fence about which software to purchase (in this case DXO or LR subscription) maybe it would help out. In saying that, I don't even use LR.

I do find that if someone mentions Adobe CC or Apple, people with a bit less mental integrity lose their minds haha. I guess you could say my mental integrity needs some work as well since I usually reply to those people. From now on, I will avoid such silliness. I figure a persons belief no matter how false, will never be broken by anyone but themselves.

I am allright. I still have cs6 creative suite and i will buy supplemental software. Not going into the subscription trap. As i need more then just Photoshop and Lightroom, it's way more expensive for me. Looking for alternatives.

I think he don't need explanation.

It seems that many people implements "corporate culture" in their everyday live.

Some time ago I've seen "Yes-men fix the world" movie. Worth to be seen.
 
You can do a lot to reduce has by using the Clarity, Vibrance, and Contrast sliders.

I was going to say the same thing. In fact, I took a screenshot of the before image in the video and very quickly created a very similar effect in LR 5. If I had access to the original file I probably could have created the same exact look. Adobe should be focusing on more meaningful improvements to LR 6, especially considering its less than perfect state with existing and newly added tools.

PURE speculation, you don't have access to the new feature, and you really don't have a clue about what you're suggesting!

Again, there's nothing in the current version of LR that can produce the same results as Dehaze, it uses a new technology and process you don't have access to so you can't compare.

All companies find ways to entice their customers to spend money with them. That is just business 101. I am not going to get into the Adobe argument too far since it has been one of those arguments that I have been on both sides of the fence on. I used to be pretty adamant about refusing to go with the subscription model, but I finally drank the cool aide, and I have to say, now that I have, I am much less stressed about the whole issue. I think I wasted more energy and strife fighting the system for the sake of fighting it than anything else.

I am enjoying the few upgrades in PS CC vs. my last copy of PS CS6. Are any of them game-changers? Nope. Things are just so much less stressful since I went subscription about 2 months ago.

Obviously, YMMV.

LOL. It's a just a slider. The demo video showed what it does. If I was able to very quickly get near identical results with just a very low quality screenshot of the first image that he worked with then it is very likely I could get even better results with the original high quality file. That's just common sense. Your defensiveness about this tool is odd, considering that.

I'm a Lightroom user and fan. It's the image editor I recommend to everyone (while it can still be bought stand alone), but clearly much more important things in Lightroom should be tended to first.

LOL, that's kind of an idiotic statement considering LR is filled with sliders!

Wrong! You neither have the raw data or the software with the slider. You're way off base but when the product ships, you'll see that your so called testing has no merit.
That's just common sense. Your defensiveness about this tool is odd, considering that.
It's really the opposite of common sense for all the reasons I've outlined above!

Read between the lines of you can, I'm speaking from experience and of course you're not.

Your missing the point. The point is, there are no other adjustments to that slider. He showed what was happening when you used it.

Obviously. As I said, I was able to get near identical with results with Lightroom 5 with just a very low quality screen shot of the unedited image.

How am I way off base if I got near indentical results?

And yet, I was able to get near identical results.

What experience is that?

Have you even tried to get the same results in Lightroom?
