Hello can you tell me where is the dehaze slider in the newest update of lightroom

[JP Hess]

It's only available in Lightroom CC.

Why is only there, 6.9 is the newest update dont it have to be here

Dehaze has never been, and never will be, in any version of Lightroom 6.

It only exists in Lightroom CC 2015.1 and later.

[JP Hess · Accepted solution]

It's the latest update of Lightroom 6, not Lightroom CC. The only chance that a standalone version of Lightroom will have the dehaze filter is IF there is a new upgrade, which will have to be purchased. Note that I am talking about a Lightroom upgrade (such as Lightroom 7), not an update to Lightroom 6 which is free to license holders. Adobe never announces new releases in advance. If you want the dehaze filter,  and don't want the Creative Cloud, then do a forum search on the dehaze filter in Lightroom 6.  You will see a number of discussions.

Ok so can you tell me what is the differance between normal version of Lightroom and CC version, and which is better

[JP Hess]

This has been discussed so many times that this answer shouldn't be unnecessary. Lightroom 6, when it was released, had some enhancements. Lightroom CC 2015 was released at the same time. As Lightroom CC has progressed, new features are added. Those who subscribe to Lightroom CC are paying to have those new features added. Lightroom 6 does not get the features that were added later. It is that way by design. It has always been that way, even with previous versions of Lightroom. As far as installation and the program on your computer is concerned, Lightroom 6 and Lightroom CC are the same program. But if you purchased a Lightroom 6 license then you don't have the feature enhancements because they are not part of the Lightroom 6 offering. They are only available to those who subscribe to Lightroom CC. Which program is better? Yes. It is the same program. But since you bought Lightroom 6 you have what you paid for. End of story. The updates that Lightroom 6 users get provide bug fixes and support for new cameras. But Lightroom 6 gets NO feature enhancements. The dehaze filter was not part  of the program when Lightroom 6 was released. It was released in the Lightroom CC 2015.1 update. The Lightroom 6 .1 update provided support for new cameras, but no dehaze filter. You can expect that IF there is another standalone version of Lightroom released (i.e. Lightroom 7) the dehaze filter should probably be included as one of the new features. But that will be a paid upgrade for you.

Compare Lightroom CC vs. versions 5 & 6 | Adobe Photoshop Lightroom CC history Lists the differing features.

Useful link but now dated and incomplete.

No mention of new features such as Dehaze and Boundary Warp which are found only in CC.

[Joe Foe Toe]

In fact they do list "Add or remove atmospheric haze", but that only means that the next question here will be "why don't I have Boundary Warp?"  😉  You would think that every feature addition would/should trigger an update of spec sheets like this.

[John Waller]

Yep, you're right. Good catch. Poorly worded on that page IMHO. Most people will simply look for Dehaze.

Agreed.

Updating time-sensitive pages like that is unfortunately a traditional weakness for Adobe documents. They don't check or update often enough. I suspect manual checking is required which will always result in pages getting missed.
