GLOW YOUR MIND WITH TIFFEN! Tiffen’s new diffusion filters – Soft Glow, Black Soft Glow and Golden Glow – are designed to maintain contrast for a natural appearance, removing the sharpness and sterility of digital looks but still producing pleasing highlights. Available in eight grades, each set gives a hint of halation in the lighter strengths, with heavier versions offering a more pronounced effect, emitting a gentle glow from light sources. Black tones remain deep, and whites stay clean. There are also three variations made to give smooth skin tones and keep environments looking realistic, while adding a hint of atmosphere. The flagship Soft Glow filter works on most well-lit subjects, while the Black Soft Glows are especially useful for holding deep, dark areas of the frame without shifting colours. The Golden Glow gives a slight warming effect, especially useful for specular highlights. tiffen.com
