Now that we have great software available to manipulate and improve our images, is the "Polarising Filter redundant, or does it still have a use ? Confused

The more you manipulate an image in software the more you risk degrading it by introducing noise etc. so IMO it is always better to try and get as much 'right' in camera as possible then use the software to make a good pic brilliant - hopefully Smile

Strange isn't it - through my teens a twenties, I loved photography - often taking slides even after upgrading to my (then) cutting edge Minolta X300; as you will know, with slides there is little you can do once the shutter clicks.

These days, I take snapshots on a compact and all the post production possibilities leave me cold. The only time I use Photoshop, or equivalent, is to play (eg putting my son in the same pic 10 times for a Christmas Card) and never to 'improve'.

We have some of my old pics from the 80s on our wall, and the only one of my wife's recent pics which we have enlarged and framed also had no post production, and was taken without filters either.

The only filters I regularly used were a daylight (mainly to protect the lens) and polarising, because I was a keen Alpinist in those days.

It still has an important use.

You can not 'Photoshop' out reflections from the surface of water and reveal what is beneath the surface or accurately bring out the definition of clouds against a blue sky, both of which can be done with the filter.
