Gene, I would suggest trying images with them on and off: I think you  
will find a difference even in daylight images BUT of course the  
software "adjusts" the images to even out the effect. My M8 images  
when opened in Lightroom etc correct some of the warmth seen in the  
images. The filters should go on INDOORS and AFTERHOURS: see
