👎 Cons
- The "sparkle appearance" and "glowing highlights" effects are specific stylistic choices that may not suit all photographic genres or desired aesthetics.
- Its primary function is to soften details and add glow, which means it reduces sharpness and clarity, potentially undesirable in certain high-detail photography.
- As a 1/4 strength filter, its effect is subtle, which might be too mild for photographers seeking more pronounced diffusion or glow.
