What is a diffusion/soft effect filter?
When and on which occasion do we need to use these diffusion/soft effect filters?

A diffusion/soft effect filter allows you to;
- diffuse and scatter intense light entering the lens and producing various effects across the etched filter surface.
- use different types of effect and intensities of diffusion depending on the scenes

A diffused image is neither the same at all as blurred or out-of-focus images nor digitally mimickable by any editing software easily.
Diffusing precise details, adding emotional warmth, and displaying an illusional look enable you to enhance and intensify your artistic representation techniques.
