Filters: Black Mist vs Schneider Radiant Black
« on: June 26, 2025, 11:51:39 am »

Good Morning,

With my backdrop business, I can not have any starburst in the final night print ready image.  This, of course, adds a lot of retouching with any images that have bright lights in them.  So I have been fooling around with a 1/8 Black Mist filter as a way to add a halation around lights to help cancel out starbursts, however for certain situations I feel the effect is too strong. 

I am thinking about getting a Schneider Radiant Black filter, which appears like it a stronger grade would get me close to what a 1/16 Black Mist Filter, which no one really makes.  (Tiffen's 1/16 Black Mist is not that great fyi.)  They are very expensive, so I'd rather get advise before buying one. 

Anyone have any thoughts?
