We’ve seen it take on a blizzard and underwater scenes, but New Zealand-based photographer Tom Mackintosh decided to turn Lightroom’s new dehaze feature toward the night sky, with some incredible results.
As Tom describes, this images hurried and born out of a random curiosity. Armed with a Canon 5D Mk III and a Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8, Tom quickly grabbed the images while standing in his yard.
The Final Result
After seeing this, I’m kinda wondering why we haven’t seen others giving it a try on the sky before…like when cave men used to think that fire was only for decoration. Even if you don’t really need it, Ben, I’d still like to see what you would do with it.

Excellent
Tried this a little while back and the results were… interesting. It comes out a little over processed for my taste.
Straight up awesome!
I love the dehaze slider! Wish it was an update to the 5.x instead of CC.
i’ve only seen the “good” articles on the dehaze option for what it means on the night sky pictures. but no real review on it. like the fact that it is just another clarity brush :). yes, it does the trick, it does it well, but let’s talk also about the amount of usage and what follows after to counterattack the halos/noise/etc. just saying that emphasizing on a single new option like it’s godlike by itself it is misleading. :)

No one uses it for night sky? Oh boy is he wrong. Seen several big names who already mentioned it and I also mentioned it when it was demo:ed on videos. I use it most of the time now and alot of my fellow astroscapers.
