An Exercise

Here is an image with heavy fog due to my strobe light diffusing on the
glass. It is not a good image, but in view of the recent discussion I am
posting this NEF file for anyone, who is interested, to play with to try
to remove the light scatter. I will start by saying that I could not do
it, either with the ACR fog filter, or in LAB. Though I came closer in
LAB, but had some serious color shifts.

Have fun

Most of this is simply using dehaze in LR. I moved it to 100%.

It seems your big problem was using the flash, you might have done
better with your 70-200mm f/2.8 wide open.

I didn’t go the ‘Dehaze’ or LAB routes, after basic tweaks in ACR I
went to the NIK tool box to come up with this. I will try a few other
methods, but that is it for tonight.
Thanks for the opportunity to play. ;-)

J know. Here is a crop from that series, without flash. I wanted to see
what happened with flash, and quickly found out.

but..but..didn't we just hear how lab mode is supposed to be better
than dehaze?

Since you have such a big mouth, let's see what you can do.

This image, posted earlier in this thread was processed in LAB.
The original was not fogged. We are interested how well you bring up the
color nuances in RGB, without using any plugins.

Now here's your chance to put your money where your mouth is.

That was much better!
Here is a crop of the plumage detail.

Nospam is 100% correct about this issue. Dehaze does not just change
settings that we have access to through the other sliders. It is an
entirely different process, and I could not even come close with
anything else. Honestly, it took about 60 seconds for my version, and
95% of the correction came from just shoving the dehaze slider all the
way over. I could have left it at that, and it would have been fine.

Dehaze also works great when you are trying to fix a photo that was
shot through glass.
