This is one of the shots from my last thread. Ric suggested that I try curving the blue channel to get rid of the "aquarium haze".
Is this what you were talking about Ric?

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Thanks Dick and Harry.

    Yes Ric, I like it much better. I played with the blue channel until I got it to what I thought was the best outcome. Thanks again for the tip! I didn't want you to think it fell on deaf ears.

    Yes Awais, it's great to have people around that are generous with information and tips.

    Did you try the "Haze" removal technique?

    Rather than do it with USM, try using "High Pass Sharpen" if your editor supports it.

    See also the tip on Lone Star about the "Fade" utility used in conjunction with USM.

    I agree, looks mo betta.

    The crowning touch would be to add Kevin Costner.
