Found a fix for hazy photos on another forum. Ctrl j, then multiply. That's it! Simple, and it works.

Sunny, this was taken near Jasper, in the Buffalo River Valley. Are you familiar with that area? Absolutely beautiful.

Nice tip, Suzanne, thanks
Using the multiply mode will darken and saturate already dark parts, that's why it's effective in this type of image.
Just for fun, you can do this opening the jpeg in ACR:

We hiked down there one time years ago - Lost Valley - really pretty.

Michel, thanks for the input. I don't have ACR, but looks like it would be a good program to have.

Suzanne,
If you have Elements version 5, 6 or 7, you have ACR, which is the raw conversion module included in the Elements package. If you shoot only jpeg, it is normal that you never noticed it...
However, this module maybe useful even with jpegs, as with this example. I don't remember in which newsletter I wrote about it, I'll check it later.
To be able to take advantage of ACR (Adode Camera Raw), you may have to update to the latest version of ACR.
You can open a jpeg from the editor, from the menu file/open/open as (not 'open'), then choosing the 3rd option 'Camera raw...' This will show you the dialog shown in my post.
If you are interested, tell us which version of Elements you are using, Windows or Mac... so that we can give you the update path on Adobe's site.
Using ACR with jpeg may not be necessary, but it may be very useful with difficult lighting, highlight recovery and fill light, very contrasty scenes, color casts and bad white balance.

Aha! Did not recognize. the acronym. I've looked at it several times. I don't have that option in my camera, but I understand you can open a jpg photo in ACR. I have Elements 6, Windows platform.

Ok...
Suzanne, if you want to give it a try, the latest version for Windows is here:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/ ... ftpID=4042

The advantages of ACR with jpegs are in the FAQ of Newsletter 7, June issue.

Anyway, if you don't have the latest version, you have a version which can open jpegs, so that you can have a look at what it does.
