Dehaze Missing

Hello,

I recently started taking night sky pictures and starting looking online to find out the best way to edit them. In almost every single article they say to use the Dehaze slider, however I do not have this option in the Basic Panel or Effects Panel. Do I have to add this? I updated Lightroom last night but I still do not have the Dehaze option.

Thanks in advance for the help!

6.3 is the operating system version number.

You have Lightroom CC 2015, which doesn't have Dehaze, it was added in CC 2015.1.

I would normally advise you to update to the current version, which is Lightroom Classic 8.3.1, but version 8 is not supported on Windows 8, you need to upgrade your OS to Windows 10 to use it.

The latest (and final) version of CC 2015 is 2015.14. So your Lightroom is not up to date.

What do you see when you click on Help > Updates?

Oh, and just in case, alternate way to do that, but one that actually shows a System Information screen.

Right clcik on the start icon bottom left, select run, type in "msinfo32.exe" (without the quotes), clcik Ok.

Should see:

In LR, click on Help, then System Information, then Copy. Paste results in a reply. Include from first line down to just past plug-ins (slight overkill)

Dehaze was introduced in Lightroom CC 2015.1.

Since this was a new feature, it was never added to the corresponding standalone Lightroom 6, which only received bug fixes and support for new cameras.

What version of Lightroom do you use? Dehaze is not available in Lightroom 6 or earlier.

If you updated to 8.3.1, it's in the Basic panel.
