Question

I'm getting a Black Out when I go to use Dehaze with my new Sony 7 IV camera RAW images. When I try to adjust the slider the image goes Black and can't see anything. If I bring it back to 0 zero it comes back but can Not see once I try to adjust the image. I have cloud based Adobe so I'm up to date with firmware. I use Dehaze often, so need this fixed asap please.

Use the Creative Cloud app to uninstall LrC, close and restart your system, and then reintsall LrC 3.

Uninstall and re-install worked for me.  Started happening a month ago but after the re-install it started working properly again.  Must be a bug somewhere.  I did do a bug report.

Hi! 
Has anyone noticed the dehaze filter is SUPER sensitive now? If I do +1, the whole image just turns COMPLETELY BLACK..! On the - side there's more margin, but still.. also turns black at -19 or something (canon R5 files)
I noticed because one of my filters would make the image full black, and I did not understand why, turns out it's the dehaze filter... anyone else?

I see nothing irregular on my system, however I am not using raw images from Canon R5.

This happened to me as well.  I uninstalled LR and reinstalled it.  Fixed the problem.  I have a mac and Canon.

Happens with my Nikon Z9 as well.  Only the DEHAZE slider.

I am using a 2019 MBP with monterey 12.2.1

LR is version 11.2

Camera Raw  14.2

PS 23.2.2

Today, for some reason everytime I attempt to use the dehaze, the photo turns blue or black (depending on whether I have the histogram warning boxes checked).  It exhibits the same behavior in PS camera raw also.  The problem also occurs if I use the masking tool.  Anyone else having this problem,  It was working fine yesterday.  Attached are screen shots showing before nd after barely using the dehaze option

I should have tried this before posting the above.  I uninstalled and re-installed LR and that seems to have fixed the dehaze tool.  Even fixed it in PS camera raw plug-in.  Weird but I am back to being happy again.

Thanks for posting this! I have just run into the same problem. It appeared suddenly and mysteriously. I'll try your solution!

The first trouble-shooting experiment I'd try, is to disable graphics acceleration in the Lightroom Classic settings (assuming that's what you are using), and see if the problem remains. If that does turn out relevant, perhaps a latest update to graphics driver, or otherwise a switch to certified version of the graphics driver, might help?

I am wondering as well.  It just started happening.  Total black out on the dehaze slider when it's anywhere except on zero.  Looking forward to any answers!

Which version of Lightroom Classic? Which operating system?
