Not using the dehaze tool. That feature was added much later. You'd have to use a combination of the tone curve and other tools to remove haze in that version of Photoshop or Lightroom.

No.

Workaround / alternate method

Download and install latest Adobe Bridge (free, you probably already have a copy)

Download and install latest Adobe Camera RAW (free, you probably already have a. copy)

Using Bridge, select to open your image in Camera RAW, accomplish your edits, save (TIFF, PSD, DNG, or JPEG) Might then need to import new file in LR

Not sure if you can do this via LR by having Bridge as an external editor.

Fairly sure you cannot set up an external editor pointing at ACR, ACR needs to be launched from an application.

Not sure if a newer copy of ACR will foul up your copy of Elements. Think ed haze was added at ACR v9.2

Are you working with a RAW image? not sure if this works on a JPEG.

This will be a destructive edit, not a nice non destructive lightroom edit.

ACR is not free.  That's why people have to resort to the free DNG converter when they have new cameras, and old versions of Photoshop.

Hmmm, always understood that the Camera RAW plug-in did not have a cost associated with it, that it came along with foe one Photoshop, and I think Elements. I can see pages to download it from, but without mention of cost.

But then, I have never had to acquire it separately from PS, so perhaps a bit of non experience in that way.

Three of the most significant effects of haze as it relates to images are:

1. a reduction scene tonal range,

2. a reduction in color saturation, and

3. a reduction in scene sharpness.

It would be helpful to address each of these factors in the order listed and the devices for corection are available in CS4.

For example, you may increase image tonal range using Curves or Levels, adjust saturation with the Hue/Saturation slider, and handle sharpness using an Unsharp Mask or one of the other options in the Sharpen list. In addition, depending upon the time of day, you may find that the haze has a cool or warm cast. If it is apparent and you would like to change it use the Color Balance function before sharpening. (The functions, apart from Sharpening, appear in the Image > Adjustments menu. Sharpening is found under Filters.)

These are global corrections. For further enhancement of the image, you may find the making local tonal, color or other changes before sharpening adds to the aesthetic quality of the image. Good luck.
