The Tiffen Black Satin Filter is designed to reduce the overall contrast of an image and better control the highlights within a scene. In addition to rendering highlights with a grittier, more grainy appearance, this filter also helps to subtly soften facial blemishes and wrinkles for a natural, refined look. This black satin model has a grittier look than a regular satin, and gently controls highlights while reducing overall image contrast. It can smooth out unwanted blemishes, wrinkles, or other fine details in a subject’s face while keeping the general image in focus, making it ideal for portraiture work. Manufactured using ColorCore technology, each Tiffen filter is designed to be accurate in its effect and produce consistent results.
