What this filter does

Photographers and filmmakers have long used different methods to soften or diffuse images to create a particular atmosphere. This filter achieves that effect by introducing a soft, pastel-like quality to light. Consequently, light sources gain a pleasant diffusion, yet shadows retain their shade and blackness.

Moreover, the filter lowers overall contrast and helps soften wrinkles and blemishes. Therefore, you can use it to produce flattering portraits without overly blurring fine image detail.
