The 55mm Tiffen 55mm Black Pro-Mist Filter Grade 1helps to reduce the value of the highlights while slightly lowering the overall contrast. This filter is especially useful for smoothing out and softening facial wrinkles and other blemishes. While designed for use with movies, this filter can also be used for fashion and beauty applications. Unlike a traditional diffusion or soft focus filter, Pro-Mist filters provide little loss of detail across the image. The 1 density provides more contrast and highlight reduction than the 1/2, but less than the 2, while still allowing for a soft, pastel-like quality of light.

A: Tiffen diffusion filters come in various strengths ranging from 1/8 to 5 depending upon the filter type. The lower the #, the less effect. The higher the #, the greater the effect. Each increment roughly double the effect, which is to say a #1 will be twice as as strong as a 1/2. A 3 is much stronger than a 1/4.
