I've noticed in quite a few of my recent photos that background objects and scenes come out faded and off colour. I'm having trouble trying to fix these ares in photoshop and was wondering whether anyone had some ideas.

Here's an example:

Is there a way of stopping this happening in the first place?

Thanks.

That's haze... UV light interacting with the atmosphere.

To stop it at the source, you need a GOOD UV Haze filter.

Any recommendations for a "good" one?

Yes, but it's by no means cheap.

B+W UV-415 UV-Blocking Glass Filter

There are plenty of "UV" filters on the market that are cheap, but they really do nothing other than sit on the front of your lens and cause more problems than they cure.

Thanks ... I've got one 'cheap' one ... and one that's probably mid-grade ... I'll have to look into getting a better one someday ...
