It has been suggested to me to use a soft filter when shooting portraits. I am trying to understand what a soft focus filter does in comparison to what can be done on photoshop. Is a soft focus filter nothing more than using Gaussian blur on photoshop and blending in lighten mode? I purchased a cheap soft focus filter on eBay to try for myself but would like to hear from those who like or dislike using them.
