I'm going to guess that if you have the sensor 'set' to capture what it believes to be daylight, then a filter would have a similar effect on the digital image that it would have on film. But what do I know.... Sonny? Brian?

It seems to me that with digital: Light enters lens, hits sensor, software in the camera corrects color How is that different from: Light enters lens, hits film, film is scanned, software in computer (eg, PS) corrects color If a filter would help in the pre-light-hits-film phase, why wouldn't it help in the pre-light-hits-sensor phase? Inquiring minds want to know. -Aaron >There are definitely times when PS offers the best, if not the only >option for color correction.
