Which tool is used to apply or remove atmospheric haze from a photograph?

• A. Diffusers
• B. Image Manipulation
• C. Highlights and shadows
• D. Dehaze

Answer: (D)

Dehaze is the adjustment that directly targets atmospheric haze in an image. Haze scatters light, reducing contrast and washing out colors, so this tool boosts local contrast and removes that hazy veil to restore clarity. In many editors you can also push the control the other way to add haze for a moodier effect, but its primary purpose is to manage haze. The other options don’t address haze specifically: diffusers are for softening light in real-world setups, image manipulation is a broad editing term, and highlights and shadows adjust tonal values rather than the atmospheric veil.
