The Haida NanoPro MC Mist Black Filter 1/4 helps to reduce the value of the highlights and at the same time slightly lower the overall contrast. This filter is particularly useful for smoothing and softening facial wrinkles and other blemishes. Although this filter was designed for use in movies, it can also be used for fashion and beauty applications. In contrast to a conventional diffusion or soft focus filter, Pro-Mist filters offer little loss of detail in the entire image. The 1/4 density offers more contrast and light reduction than the 1/8 density while still allowing a soft, pastel-like quality of light.
