Fluo Graduated Filters are For full color explosions.
Jean Coquin found graduated filters too normal and not striking enough for creative purposes, so he created a second series. They can be recognized by the description "Fluo" (florescent) and are used as effects filters. Although the same color names are used as with the normal graduated filters, they produce brighter, more luminous colors in yellow, orange, red, blue, pink and mauve. These filters are useful for photographers who may have problems with colored polarizers, which always tone the whole picture with one or two colors. Precisely controllable color moods, which formerly were rarely seen outside of pop videos, are easy to achieve with these "fluo" filters. Technically, they are handled exactly like the other graduated filters. They come in a weak and a strong compound color just like the other grad's . Low # is the weak color and the high # is the the stronger color.
*When using color-print film and using filters to apply special colors to your images, notify your Photo-finishing agent. Most use computerized printers today and these will try to color-correct to operator input standards, thus possibly removing what you have added.
