Black Satin Filter

The Tiffen Black Satin Filter reduces the appearance of blemishes and wrinkles while adding an intentional warming effect with granularity across the entire image. This creates a more flattering result for your subject, softening highlights and reducing contrast while giving textures a smoother appearance.

Soft, Flattering Image Quality

This filter softens contrast and highlights, helping to smooth out skin texture and reduce the visibility of blemishes and wrinkles. As a result, your subject appears more flattering on screen while overall sharpness stays intact. In addition, the filter creates inhalations around highlights, which can further enhance your subject’s appearance or produce a desired creative effect.

Multiple Grades for Flexible Strength

The Black Satin Filter is available in grades 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. With each grade increase, the effect becomes approximately twice as strong. So you can select the exact level of softening and warmth that suits your scene, from a subtle touch to a more pronounced look.

Built for Clarity and Durability

This filter is constructed from water white glass for increased clarity and color fidelity. It is also made using Tiffen’s ColorCore technology, a process that laminates the filter substrate between two pieces of optical glass and grinds it flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch. Together, these elements ensure consistent optical performance and long-lasting durability. A padded pouch is included for safe storage and transport.
