Offers all the benefits of the Pro-Mist filter in a more subtle form Highlight flares are controlled Contrast is lowered, but with less lightening of shadows for a more delicate effect The filter offers a delicate effect with contained highlight flare Creates a soft light 'pastel' effect Tiffen filter is manufactured using ColorCore technology, a closely guarded proprietary process that entails permanently laminating the filter material in between 2 pieces of optical glass that are ground flat to tolerances of a ten-thousandth of an inch, then mounting them in precision metal rings The ColorCore process allows Tiffen to control the color and density of their filters, and the characteristics of special effects filters with much greater accuracy than typical dyed-in-the-mass filters, which usually exhibit color and density variations
