In this video, I’m using Photoshop’s new Clarity and Dehaze controls to create a controllable “hazy atmosphere” effect that blends naturally. The problem with Clarity/Dehaze inside Photoshop is that they can feel like a hammer, so I’ll mask them using the Green channel for balanced separation, then soften and contain the effect with mask feathering and Levels.

You’ll see how this creates an “Orton-style” glow without the smeary look, plus how to fine-tune it with opacity, mask feather, Levels on the mask, and a clipped Curves layer to control exactly where the glow lives (highlights vs shadows) and even add subtle color shaping.

Download the free action, try it on your images, and let me know in the comments where you’d use this effect (landscapes, portraits, weddings, fine art)
