[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Howard and Adam, I?m a proponent of the haze filter in camera raw. I use it often, even in close shot with lots of bokeh that needs tamed. The sharpen filter too has made me almost stop using focus magic; it is more controllable unless you need local attention to an area on the image.
