Tiffen has gone out of its way to let you do what you want with your footage. You can color-correct using the equivalent of traditional F-stop controls to affect brightness and saturation levels, or more precisely by controlling the color balance in the shadows, midtones and highlights of your video, or more generally by applying a lighting or tint filter to enhance or nullify certain colors.

This approach to digital filters should be especially comfortable for users who started out in traditional film and cinematography techniques. Students of the digital age are used to specifying the size, color, opacity and response range of the simulated grain of their video in precise increments, but if you’re accustomed to ordering your film pre-flashed and then asking the lab to do a skip-bleach process on it, that’s exactly what you can have the Dfx filters do, using that exact terminology.
