How to reduce/remove haze in Photoshop?

[Griffin]

Shooting in heavily polluted city is a very sad experience. Could anyone tell me how to reduce/remove haze from the photo? Simple "Custom White Balance" does not work.

The best haze removal tool there is is definitely RealTexture Tools package's "Dehaze" (Filter for Removing Atmospheric Haze). But it's quite expensive for casual use...

Wow, expensive is right, Pekka! Have you actually tried this? The example picture is (naturally) quite impressive.
