Dhaze missing?

I opend/ retouched a couple of images -- used dehaze.. ACR  15.2

 

And then I opened another image, also says 15.2, and no dehaze.. Curious on that, thanks.

If you originally processed an image using an older version of Camera Raw then it more than likely was done using an old Process Version. The version used can be seen in the image metadata in Bridge in the Camera Raw section.

If you open such an image in Camera Raw, you should see a small triangle containing an exclamation mark in the bottom right corner of the image window. Hover over this and you will see "Update to Current Process (Version 5)". Clicking on the triangle will initiate the update then you should have all of today's adjustment panels available including the elusive "Dehaze".

Eirk whew!  Bless you. That explains it well.

 

Ok just reopened the image without the dehaze option, but don't see the 

 

xclamation mark in the bottom right corner of the image window. Hover over this and you will see "Update to Current Process (Version 5)".

 

Did I miss it?

 

there is an exclamation, not yellow and when click on that, just seems to apply some changes, I think, not solve update process

 

 

Then even that goes away, still same/ stuck, no yellow one

Your first screenshot shows the triangle I referred to.

Your second screenshot now shows the triangle has disappeared because you have updated.

The updated panels are in place and the Dehaze slider where it should be!

Not sure what you are not seeing?

Check the Process Version. It may be too old and set for a certain raw.
