Subtle effect, but may be just enough to "take the edge" off life's little imperfections
I've attached an image of an imperfect pumpkin.
The picture on the left was taken at 100mm on my Sony A7iv without a filter. The image on the right was taken with the K&F Black Diffusion 1 filter attached.
It's not the same as taking a picture of a person (unless you know someone with a deep orange complexion), but because of this punkin's slightly rough "complexion," you can see that those imperfections are dialed down just a bit. If this were a human face, it might be just enough to cover up any of the small marks that seem to be highlighted by razor sharp digital images.
I'm new to black diffusion filters, but this particular one makes me want to do some test drives with my human friends (!) to see if they like the results. Like I said, it's really subtle, but that sure beats the ridiculous "face smoothing" filters and features some people add to their images that make them look like something from a wax museum.
Also, I noticed it darkened the image slightly. Otherwise, I'm curious to learn more!
