Add atmosphere in Lightroom

Use Texture, Clarity and Dehaze for an ethereal look

There are many techniques that can only be applied in Photoshop, but as the number of controls available in Lightroom increases, you can do much more with your RAW files. Using Texture, Clarity and Dehaze for a more ethereal look requires a slightly different approach to how these controls are often used. However, the result is similar to the Orton Effect, with a soft glow and increased haze added to your photos.

1 Apply Lens Corrections Go to Lens Corrections and check Remove Chromatic Aberration and Enable Lens Corrections boxes. If your lens isn’t found, set the Make manually and, if the lens is supported, it will usually pull through. If not, try adding the Model manually, but don’t worry if it isn’t supported.
