Tiffen 4x5.65" Cyan 4 Soft-Edge Graduated Filter - Vertical Orientation

Discover the transformative power of Tiffen Color-Grad filters, a leading choice among industry professionals. These versatile filters empower photographers and videographers to manipulate their images, either by creating captivating illusions or enhancing the authenticity of a scene.

Tiffen Color-Grad filters are renowned for their ability to inject vibrancy into a dull sky, alter specific colors in a scene for a unique special effect, or amplify existing colors for a subtle yet impactful drama. They are also invaluable for achieving a balanced exposure in situations with uneven lighting.

The 4x5.65" Cyan 4 Soft-Edge Graduated Filter, with its vertical orientation, is a prime example of Tiffen's commitment to quality and versatility. Depending on the filter size, the transition area of this soft-edge filter ranges from 1/2" to 2" wide before reaching full density, allowing for a smooth and gradual change in color.

The terms 'vertical' and 'horizontal' are crucial when discussing rectangular-shaped filters like this one. These terms refer to the filter's position in relation to the camera when the grad line is horizontal.

The choice between a 'hard' edge or 'soft' edge filter largely depends on the type of lens used and the subject matter. Telephoto lenses, which utilize a small portion of the filter, are best paired with a hard edge filter. Conversely, wide-angle lenses, which make objects appear smaller, are ideally matched with a soft edge filter to avoid a harsh straight line in the image.

Tiffen's soft-edge filters and attenuators are perfect for blending subtly with irregular-shaped subjects or unusual lighting, offering photographers and videographers an additional layer of creative control. Experience the difference with Tiffen Color-Grad filters.
