Dehaze
Will Dehaze be added to V10 at some point ? all major current converters now have it as standard. DXO has an excellent version which I really like, but want to stay with C1 pro.
Is there a work around with V10 tools to get similar results ?
Thanks.

Short answer - no.
This has come up before - a site search will avoid the need for another exchange on the subject...0 -
Thanks to the last part of the question re a workaround ... The first part of my question however is the critical one ...

You are asking people on a User to User forum.
Phase, along with many other companies, are not in the habit of speculating or pre-announcing so you are unlikely to see an official answer.
There are certainly ways of editing images that create a "dehaze" effect - whatever that may be for a specific image.
It's likely to involve a selection of editing tools so something that can be saved as a style as the basis for future re-use.
There are some examples in earlier discussion.
HTH.

Try Clarity/Structure. 0 -
I'm not sure that Clarity/Structure entirely does it, at least not all the time. There is a dehaze feature in Affinity Photo, which worked fairly well on a photo of mine recently, though it tended to not quite apply the effect to some areas that had an overhanging branch partially obscuring them. So I came back to C1 (version 9) to try to achieve the same result using a local adjustment that got better into all the areas that needed it. I got fairly close with a combination of Clarity, Exposure, Contrast and Saturation, if I remember rightly, but only fairly close. I think there is a lot more to successful dehaze than one first imagines.

Doesn't really get close, Ian - it's not the same thing at all.
That's why I suggested that the OP conduct a search, rather than going over the same ground again - it'll gain nothing because nothing in Capture One has changed.
And despite what the "experts" in earlier conversations - who clearly have no detailed experience of DeHaze/ClearView (in DxO-speak) - had to say about it, no combination of tools in Capture One adequately replicates these tools.
As this guy suggests:Those who have written it off as “a gimmicky new name for contrast†have missed the mark and are losing out on a valuable tool for many photography uses.
I beta-tested for DxO before ClearView was introduced, and this page sums up nicely what it does (DeHaze in Lr uses similar technology):
http://www.dxo.com/us/photography/photo ... /clearview
Capture One simply cannot match this.
Incidentally, the "Haze Removal" in Affinity Photo doesn't have quite the same effect as DeHaze/ClearView either, in my experience - it doesn't seem to deliver the same micro-detail enhancement that the Lightroom and DxO tools have (and which is very clearly demonstrated in the before-and-after of the boat shot at the bottom of the DxO page).
I know that Capture One's Clarity tool can be used as a micro-detail enhancer - I use it that way - but it's still not doing what DeHaze/ClearView do...0 -
On the other hand, I have Affinity, and I don't have DxO.

I "dehazed" a picture before in C1. I used clarity and contrast/curves adjustments but also changed the white balance (local adjustment). More haze creates more blue which has to be compensated for. 0 -

Yes, I should have remembered that this was part of what I did.

I love C1 but looking at its origin and development, thier main target market seems to be professional portrait studios to whom $99 per year to upgrade is trivial.
The enthusiastic amateur, semi-pro and landscape photographer are not their main concern, so yes, I would love a dehaze feature, but I'm not holding my breath.
A personal observation and maybe I'm wrong.

I just downloaded the DxO trial. I have some misty/foggy pictures taken recently in Venice. The dehaze works very well. On my pics quite a lot of further work needed doing after dehazing but certainly worthwhile. I used to be a DxO user and can get quite a reasonable upgrade price so I might just buy it for special uses. 0 -
Brian,
although it's not quite the same as the DxO/Lightroom implementations, I like the results that Affinity Photo's DeHaze delivers - I reckon you'd spend your money more sensibly on Photo than on Optics Pro, especially as Photo is fully compatible with the (free) Nik plugin collection, which has a pretty fine DeHaze equivalent built in too.0 -
Great suggestion Keith. I had forgotten Affinity Photo is now available for Windows and hadn't checked it out. I will do that now. Thanks for the pointer. I am still miffed with DxO for completely blanking Fujifilm X which is my second system. 0 -
Hmm... no trial option but I think there is a money back guarantee so I'll look at it tomorrow. 0 -

Brian,
Last time I looked (when I bought photo a couple of weeks ago as an upgrade to what went before for those few times a year when I really feel a need for PS like functionality) it was about the same price as an average meal out for one at a (UK) restaurant.
Buy it and sell a filter you never use to pay for it!

If you can give it a couple of weeks, Serif is introducing a WIndows trial option.0 -
Thanks Keith. 0
