Not exactly the same. Beside changing the contrast, simplistically: red lightens red, green lighten greens, orange lighten oranges and yellows lighten yellows.Originally Posted by Brian Ellis
Believing Photo$hop can do everything filters or a darkroom can, is not being honest with oneself.

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you do criticize them you'll be
a mile away and you'll have their shoes.
Brian, I am glad that you enjoyed that.

I have a set of beautiful filters, made by Lee, I think. There seems to be no reason to carry them around. I don't like black skies at all. If I want to pick up the delicacy of the light in one area, like leaves, I just pull up on the curve, or mask the area, then pull up on the curve... I really don't see the need for filters any more...
I am often disagreeing with Brian, but I have to agree with him on this one. If you are one of those who uses Photoshop, and you know your masking well, I can't see the use...
I am willing to have my mind changed (as I still have the filters) and would be interested if someone could make a case for using filters in the field when digital printing is to be utilized.

If you are shooting IR film that is sensitive to both visual and IR radiation you will need a deep red filter, something like a R72, to block visual light get the IR look. I don't believe there is any way to replicate this look with Photoshop , though there is an IR filter for conversion of RGB to B&W that comes pretty close if you start with a scan of color film.

I agree completely.
Filters are of no use to those who do computer graphics.
But they're very useful to photographers.
Whether or not a particular shooter chooses to use them is an artistic decision.

All the usuals for B&W but also 47B - deep blue. Without it some rock formations are dead flat. With it they pop. I learned about its use when photographing rock art but found that some rock responds beautifully to it. Dark green has a similar effect though I don't have one.
It's a 3 stop filter but the dark blue makes it a devil to focus through. It's probably best to focus without then just add the filter prior to exposure.
