Soft/FX®& Warm Soft/FX®Filters
Many different techniques have been developed for diffusing or softening images. The
Soft/FX filter alone provides a much sought after
effect: retains overall image clarity while it softens
unwanted details.
The SOFT/FX series has a pattern of tiny
lenslets designed specifically to put fine image
elements, like wrinkles and skin blemishes, out
of focus while leaving larger details such as the
eyes, sharp. The proportion of clear space to the
diffused pattern on the glass determines the
strength of the filter and enables the overall image
quality and sharpness to be retained. The lighter
densities are very subtle, producing no flare from
highlights or reduction in contrast. The higher
densities tend to be more noticeable in their
effect while still providing a pleasing portrait.
The WARM SOFT/FX combines the innovative diffusion technology of the Soft/FX filters
with the exclusive Tiffen 812
balancing contrasting skintones to make people
look their best.
Ideal for all types of people photography, the
Warm Soft/FX can be helpful when a scene
involves several people with varying skintones.
The Warm Soft/FX is particularly useful with
video due to its sensitivity to blue. It provides the
dual benefit of softening and warming, while
offering the convenience of minimized filter
requirements by allowing the use of two filter
effects in one position of the filter wheel in professional broadcast video cameras.
Neutral colors show little change while cooland skin-tones are made warmer as well as
being softened for a beautiful effect—
unmatched anywhere.
Available in all professional sizes in
densities 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5.
The higher the density, the greater effect of diffusion. The
warm color remains constant in all densities while the
amount of softening varies.
