Gold Diffusion FX

The Gold Diffusion/FX filter possesses an inherent quality of optical softness that aids in reducing the sharpness commonly associated with modern lenses. With the introduction of a golden warmth that envelops the image, this filter brings about a subtle reduction in contrast, resulting in a visually pleasing effect, particularly on darker skin tones. The influence on practical light sources and skin shine appears seamless until higher densities are applied.

Similar to other filters in the Diffusion FX range, the Gold Diffusion FX filter enhances the apparent sharpness of facial features, such as the eyes, contributing to an appealing aesthetic in beauty shots. The contrast adjustment affects the shadow areas without creating a halation effect from specular or practical light sources. Even at the heavier end of the filter's range, the impact remains refined and unobtrusive. Moreover, the filter's added warmth can be observed in the grayscale tones of wide shots.
