Local Contrast and how it remove haze
Local enhancement is a simplier name on sharpening your picture with a large radius. I use 30-50 points as a size when sharpening. I usually use a radius that is quite small when i sharpen my picture but here you use a very large radius thus will effect the contrast in the picture. I have played around some although effecting the haze.
I wanted some halo-effects on the picture and thus i wanted it to control the picture with strong contrast. If you take your time and play around with unsharp mask you can have some strange effects. It is vital that you know of local contrast since it is a useful tool.
Remember you also can do USM only on the light layer in LAB mode to have a sharper image that will not effect the coulor of the photo. Doing unsharp mask will effect the image in different ways making it somewhat darker and this you should know of.
