These filters can be used for lifting contrast and creating halation or glowing effects to specular light sources in a scene. They can also be used for reducing blemishes and wrinkles on talent by reducing the resolution of the image. These filters have been a staple in Hollywood for generations and continue to help cinematographers create the look they want, in camera.
