Tiffen 5×5 Inch Cool Blue Soft-Edge Graduated 4 Filter | 5X5CGCB4S

Hold a Tiffen 5×5 Cool Blue Soft-Edge Graduated 4 filter up to the light and you’ll see a clean, precise gradient that shifts from deep blue down to crystal clear glass. That soft edge transition is intentional ? it’s designed to let you control color across your frame without harsh lines or obvious trickery. You’ll slide this into your matte box and dial in exactly where the blue hits, making it feel like the scene itself cooperated. It’s a tool for deliberate work, not happy accidents.

Working outdoors, you know the sky can fall flat or a reflective surface can appear muddier than it looked to your eye. This graduated filter lets you lay a cool blue cast over specific parts of your composition while leaving the rest untouched. It’s a subtle effect when you need it and a bolder statement when you don’t hold back. The 4 stop density gives you room to deepen shadows or push a water surface toward a crisp, steely tone. No electronic trickery, no post-production guesswork ? just clean glass and a graduated design that gets it done in camera.
