The Tiffen 4 x 5.65" Black Satin 3 Filter offers a solution for reducing blemishes and wrinkles while adding a warm and granular effect to a photo. By applying this filter, you can achieve a more flattering result, with softened highlights, reduced contrast, and smoother textures. It also creates halations around highlights, enhancing the overall appearance of the subject. The filter maintains sharpness while providing these desired effects.
This particular filter has a grade of 3, but other grades ranging from 1/8 to 5 are also available. Each grade increases the strength of the filter's effect approximately twice as much as the previous grade.
The construction of this filter utilizes water white glass, which improves clarity and color fidelity. It is produced using ColorCore technology, a precise process that involves laminating the filter substrate between two pieces of optical glass and grinding it to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch.
